These critics! These fools! These idiots! This is what goes on in the head of Shakespearean mime Edward Lionheart. And so he takes bloody revenge, gruesomly murdering every one of these time-wasters after deaths in Shakespeare. This turns out to be quite an imaginative challenge: recreating the burning of Jean d`Arc from ”The first Part of Henry the Sixth” with a hairdryer, or the deadly pie in ”The Most Lamentable Romaine Tragedie of Titus Andronicus” by baking two poodles. A sardonic, darkly funny film full of twisted murders inspired by the less well-known Shakespeare plays.
