In a far-off kingdom, King Diadon spends each night watching his life story performed by a company of players. But on performance number 18,338, he's finally had enough – and gives them three days to come up with something new... or face the chop. Unfortunately, teamwork isn't their strong suit. As panic sets in and chaos erupts, newcomer Rick – confused, unqualified and somehow their last shot at survival – begins to suspect that hidden truths may be lurking behind the curtain. A dark comedy about the masks we wear, and the stories we tell.
