Pest!

2020 · 2 seasons

A brisk, silly lockdown farce in medieval dress, more about bickering than dread, easy to dip into.

Overview: The story is about the inhabitants of the fictional town of Hamburg, locked in a castle in quarantine. William, the Messenger who brought the news of the plague, is also locked up in the castle.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Isolation, survival, power, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
