description: Kafka's Shakespearean Tragedy! All the world's a stage...and Franz Kafka wants to direct! The absurdist has got his hot little hands on the Bard's greatest work - Hamlet. Unfortunately William S. Burroughs wants to direct too! Perhaps George W. Bush wants a piece of the action as well. One thing these literary creators haven't taken into consideration though are the characters. Horatio Hamlet's college roommate has reached the end of his rope trying to determine whether the piece is a tragedy or a comedy. Hamlet has dropped into a world of hallucinogens and drugs and thinks he may be turning into a cockroach. And after the declaration of a ghost in Elsinore  Claudius has declared a War on Terrors! What's it all about? And why is Puck around? These questions and many more will be answered in a bawdy bizarro tale of Shakespearean proportions - complete with mistaken identity ghosts and true love lost.
