Beatrice Shakespeare Smith, a sarcastic, likable 17-year-old, must find a way to make herself invaluable to the Théâtre Illuminata or she will be forced to leave the only home she has ever known. How she arrived at the theater as a baby is somewhat of a mystery, and through the years she has been allowed to run free and cause mayhem of one kind or another. Beatrice proposes to restage Hamlet set in ancient Egypt and promises it will be the sell-out performance that will restore the Théâtre to its former glory. If that were all, the story line would be fairly straightforward. However, the Théâtre Illuminata is no ordinary theater. Characters from the world's major plays live inside, summoned forth by pinning a note on the Call Board.

That was probably the most meh book ever. I didn't care about any of the characters, the protagonist is a mean bitch, the plot is a mess, and nothing makes sense.
Add to that glaring anachronisms and weirdly contrived dialogue and you've got a pretty lame book.
I don't think I'll read the rest of the trilogy, even though this was at least a quick read.
