Inspired by a true story, When In Disgrace (Haply I Think on Thee) tells an unbelievable tale of shattered hope and personal destruction as three close friends are torn apart by jealousy, neglect, guilt, and ultimately, love. These forces combine to drive a young man towards a terrible decision. Fusing rock music, imabic verse, and video games, When In Disgrace explores what leads young men to extreme acts of violence, and the eerie similarity between teenage melodrama and classical drama.
