THE SHARERS
Violent murders spanning nearly 500 years… Mutilated bodies dumped in theatre alleys, their hearts ripped out…Christopher Marlowe's 16th century diary, beginning as a youth, detailing his secret education with William Shakespeare; a diary he kept until the day of Marlowe's own violent murder. These elements have a profound impact on the lives of 20th Century performers Richard Allen, the most famous Shakespearian actor of his generation, and Megan Christopher, a promising young actress. Set against the backdrop of the 1990's Broadway theatre scene, the murders, treachery and madness continue until the reason is unearthed and the carnage can finally cease.
