Marisol Perez's routine existence changes abruptly when her guardian angel informs her that the angels are planning a rebellion against God. With the heavens in an uproar, social stability and natural order rapidly begin to deteriorate on Earth. The world is plagued with pestilence. Neo-Nazis target the homeless. Acid rain burns the skin, and apples and coffee are extinct. The sun never rises and the moon is lost in the orbit of another planet. Men can bear children. People are thrown into jail for maxing out their credit cards. Like the other poor mortals suffering without assistance from on high, Marisol does her best to stumble along, trying to make sense of a world gone mad.

Akin to Hamlet on hallucinogens, Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy pre-dates the Bard's popular work by a decade. Widely known as the very first revenge tragedy, Kyd's story of a wronged father's quest for justice for his murdered son is complete with ghosts,
vengeance, violence, an innocent woman driven to madness, and a play-within-a-play used to trap a murderer.

It's 1967 and Brian Epstein crashes a cemetery, looking to check in to residency. Joe Orton follows him, looking for some tail...or to talk to Brian about the screenplay he's written for the Beatles. (You know, whatever comes first.) They argue rewrites and ponder the making of a man. Some clothes come off. More clothes come off. There's a lot of scrabbling in the dark. Within weeks, both of them would turn up dead. But they might have had this meeting, they might have had this chance. They might each have had something to risk and something to save.
