This comedic romp is two short plays. In the first, a troupe of English  schoolboys (played by adults) speak in a mock language called "Dogg."  This language babbles along until the schoolboys, who are studying  Shakespeare's "foreign" language, present an abridged version of Hamlet. The second play, dedicated to dissident Czech dramatist Pavel Kohout, is about a performance of Macbeth he and his friends once staged in a living room since the government  banned public performances. The action shifts between the bare stage and  the police inquiry. The murder and intrigue of Shakespeare's play are  juxtaposed with the authoritarian government's political oppression.
