In the heart of London, a Shakespearean actor who has seen better days and been scorned by critics finds his drive for revenge after being humiliated in a scathing review. Believing that his career has been ruined by a group of arrogant critics, he decides to take matters into his own hands in an unconventional and spectacular manner. After faking his own death, the protagonist becomes a sort of ghost, using his vast knowledge of theater to carry out a series of murders inspired by classic Shakespearean plays.
As the critics fall one by one, the police are faced with a macabre riddle in a race against time to stop this theatrical vigilante. Each murder is a meticulously planned performance, a masterpiece of vengeance that not only seeks to punish but also aims to make a scathing commentary on criticism itself and the hypocrisy in the world of art. With a vibrant cast and a tone that navigates between dark and absurdly comedic, the film offers a reflection on the mortality of talent and the corrosive power of words.
The intrigue intensifies when the critics realize they are being hunted like characters in a tragic play. Amidst madness and art, the film culminates in a dramatic climax that questions the line between life and performance.
