Sir Geoffrye and Lady Hilarye, sleeping peacefully on their marble tomb these last six hundred years, are woken by the thump of rock music in the crypt beneath them...

The eternal triangle in an airport departure lounge: two lovers and the flight announcements...
The scripts are provided. Everything else - casting, set design, ice-cream sales - is up to the reader...
