Description
The Fair Maid of Bohemia by Edward Marston In 16th-century England, a mysterious plague has emptied the country's theaters, forcing Lord Westfield's Men to take a risk by performing at the Imperial Court in Prague. Their invitation comes from Sophia Magdalena, the alluring great-niece of Rudolph II, and is accompanied by a secret mission to deliver documents to an English doctor in the court. However, their journey is soon turned into a nightmare when an actor is brutally murdered during their first performance, and Nicholas Bracewell realizes he is the intended victim. As the troupe arrives in Prague, they discover that the eccentric court of Rudolph II holds its own secrets, and that the doctor Talbot Royden, who was supposed to receive the documents, is instead languishing in a castle dungeon. With their debut play dedicated to Sophia Magdalena nearing, Nicholas Bracewell must use all his skills to rescue the company from the danger and deceit that has engulfed them. A gripping mystery unfolds as Nicholas Bracewell navigates the treacherous world of the Imperial Court, where nothing is as it seems.
