Plot synopsis

The Hotel Dreamland of Mountains is located near the border mountains in the background of the permanently proceeding war in the Caucasus. This hotel has two married couples: Boa (wife) and Davy (husband), and Lily (wife) and Tattoo (husband).

The trouble begins when it appears that their partner in the sales of heroin, Siko-torpedo (this character we don't see in the play), brought a gift, a suitcase on which they owe a life two million dollars. Still, five hundred thousand dollars doesn't suffice at the local price cost of a thousand heroin grams.

Boa (wife) compels the husband, Davy, that it, too, took a stick of golf in his hands and let it go to kill the other couple.

At that time, Tattoo (husband) compels the wife, Lily, that it, too, took a stick of golf in his hands and let it go to kill other couples.

When lags behind the live Lily (the widow of Tattoo) and Devy (widower Boa) from the hotel take out corpses, the shoes of the killed spouses start knocking on a ladder, and Pour and Tattoo start dancing with corpses on the back (The play name from here turns out).

The owner who will provide proof comes that the accident was arranged artificially, and he has already returned the money, but only for this purpose doesn't kill Lily and Davy that the newlyweds have to liquidate Siko-torpedo.

Both are dead. Boa and Tattoo are already in heaven, where they, the golf teacher, have William Shakespeare, and in Solfeggio, they are engaged under the direction of the inventor of music notes Guido of Arezzo.

The owner who supervised and ruled all these events is sure that he created a more successful play than his friend William Shakespeare.

<i>The Second Maidens Tragedy</i> Play probably by Thomas Middleton, sometimes (less probably) attributed to Shakespeare

The Second Maiden's Tragedy is a Jacobean play that survives only in manuscript. It was written in 1611, and performed in the same year by the King's Men. The manuscript was acquired but never printed by the publisher Humphrey Moseley after the closure of the theatres in 1642. In 1807, the manuscript was acquired by the British Museum. Victorian poet and critic, Algernon Swinburne, was the first to attribute this work to Thomas Middleton; this judgement has since been joined by most editors and scholars. The play has received few modern revivals. It was the opening production at the newly refurbished Hackney Empire studio in 2006 starring Alexander Fiske-Harrison and Jos Vantyler.
