Event
A Wake
In this intense drama, six former members of a theater company assemble for their infamous director's wake. Gabor Zazlov (NICHOLAS CAMPBELL) has died suddenly. His widow, Hanna (TARA NICODEMO), welcomes the thespians to her country home but soon loses control of the proceedings when old rivalries and jealousies erupt. As members of Gabor's last ill-fated production of Hamlet four years ago, the characters they played continue to haunt their lives. Tyler (GRAHAM ABBEY) who played Laertes then Hamlet, is now a minor Hollywood star and secretly in love with Maya (KRISTA SUTTON), the quiet, new-age Ophelia. Raj (RAOUL BHANEJA), now a successful real-estate agent, is still resentful of losing the part of Hamlet to Tyler. However it is sexy, troubled Danielle (SARAIN BOYLAN), whose presence causes the most controversy. Sabina (MARTHA BURNS), the company's patron, demands to know why 'this whore was invited' and the party erupts. The unexpected arrival of Gabor's son Chad (KRISTOPHER TURNER), ratchets up the tension further. Traveling in Europe, he knew nothing of his father's passing and accuses his stepmother of killing him. Another Hamlet joins the fray.
