World's richest man defies plague, occupies bunker, stages cabarets!

Now... "Sing for your Supper"!

When a devastating viral plague shuts down civilization, Prosper Prince gathers those closest to him and retreats to a remote bunker. Fully supplied and staffed, the plan is to ride out the storm in a series of cabaret entertainments. It is Halloween. Now ... sing for your supper. Spun from Edgar Allen Poe's The MASQUE of the RED DEATH.
