Storyline

You are the one and only William Shakespeare, busily preparing for what will be the premiere performance of your new play ‘Hamlet’ at your own Globe theatre. 

However, just as you’re knee deep in organisation and trying to finish the script… an exotic colleague from a very secret society you joined long ago turns up in your life with a problem that could put you in great danger! 
 
Can you appease ‘The Order of Pegasus’ Light’ without compromising your important premiere?
