MacDeath: An Ivy Meadows Mystery By Cindy Brown

by Cynthia Chow


Olivia Ziegwart took the stage name of Ivy Meadows, but she needs affirmation she truly is an actress. Through a happy accident involving a hidden cord and nimble recovery, Ivy manages to snag the role of an aerobatic witch in a circus-themed interpretation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Even in a production where Macbeth is a lion tamer and Lady Macbeth is an aerialist, the curse of The Scottish Play falls heavily on the cast with the most notable cast member as its first victim.
