## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Two minor players from a famous tragedy find themselves in a comedy of errors that isn’t theirs. They wander toward a castle with a vague royal request and a growing sense that their assigned roles make less sense than the script they’re not reading. The real joke is how easily their existential panic is overshadowed by someone else’s drama.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cerebral, playful, surreal
