Dancing With Hamlet (PDF)
Description
When Rosie, the matriarch of the Flack family, decides to remarry following her divorce, her three grown children are not exactly thrilled with the idea. What's more, they are mortified when their father dies suddenly in a car crash a week before the big day and Rosie decides to move forward with the wedding. The family's only daughter Elvira begins to see the whole as a tragedy...on a Shakespearean level. It's time for a little antic disposition.
