Moore has taken A Midsummer
Night’s Dream and turned it into a wickedly funny bawdy whodunnit.
Pocket is the ‘hero’ of this tale;
a professional Fool, who is quite handy with a throwing knife. Cast adrift by
his latest lady love, Pocket and co are sunk and almost drowned on the shores
of Athens.
Pocket is saved by fairies and
then set upon by the watch commander. He must solve the murder of one Robin
Goodfellow. At stake, the life of Pocket’s apprentice. Most of the suspects
will be very familiar to fans of the bard. The denouement is both bloody and
hilarious, and did I mention squirrels?
