A historical comedy about a teenaged John Wilkes Booth, an African American actress on the run, and a whole barnyard full of Shakespeare.

All is going well until Adah Francois, an African American freewoman with Shakespearean dreams, arrives and the complications begin. Experience the eccentricity, brilliance and over-the-top sibling rivalry of one of Maryland's most notorious families one glorious summer evening on a family farm in Belair, Maryland. A historic and romantic comedy. Recommended for ages ten and up.
