So, they hatch a plan to destroy Macbeth and produce the worst play ever staged. The students rewrite the script and hold secret rehearsals in anticipation of presenting one glorious night of rebellions mayhem. Just as they are ready to take the stage, the Drama Instructor announces that a special guest will be attending the performance- a drama professor from State College who is awarding scholarships to promising young actors. Will the group scrap their plans for mayhem and present a traditional rendition of Macbeth? Or will they go through with their plans to make a mockery of Shakespeare and jeopardize their futures?
