If We Were Villains, by M. L. Rio
A decade ago: Oliver is one of seven young Shakespearean actors at Dellecher Classical Conservatory. In this secluded world of firelight and leather-bound books, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingenue, extras. But in their fourth and final year, good-natured rivalries turn ugly, and on opening night real violence invades the students’ world of make-believe.
