Pitch: | HOUSE OF CARDS meets HAMLET |
Writer: | Robbie Robertson |
Genre: | Drama | Mystery | Period |
Why to Read: | As a beautifully crafted spin on Shakespeare’s HAMLET set in the deep south during World War II, this pilot delivers impeccably rich characters, a stunningly visual setting, and a unique opportunity to explore stories big and small as the family dramas and the drama of the world clash together. With impeccable characterization, fascinating historical detail, and a hint of Southern Gothic, this pilot easily transposes the political and psychological dread of the original to a new, but no less memorable, setting. With vivid imagery and subjects of government morals still applicable today, this pilot offers a new and endlessly entertaining insight into a classic. |
