This comic fantasy has Prince Hamlet (yes, that one) at the famous German university with Dr. Faustus and Martin Luther battling over faith and reason. The battle culminates in the nailing of the theses on the church door in this witty thinkalong that is less like university finals and more like spring break. Sometimes the truth is funny. . . and the consequences even funnier.

At first glance, it looks like one woman helping another, but each woman brings to the other her true agenda, triggering a profound moral dilemma and a chain reaction of events with great personal and political aftershocks that reveal the truth and its consequence.

A host of family members square off against her, and each other, in a comedy that precisely captures a time, a place and a way of life.
