A new adventure inspired by the legends of Egypt, playwright JOHN OLIVE creates a mystical mystery that will have audiences on the edge of their seats. The mysterious Zalira (MARLENE GINADER) and the sneeze-afflicted palace scribe, Bakneb (PARNELLI PARNES), must aid the young and spoiled Pharaoh Serket (ALEX ROSE) if he is to escape death at the hands of his ever present enemies.
