‘Mortal Coil’ is a webseries on the genre of murder mystery, based on a fusion of characters from various plays of Shakespeare. It’s a Shakespearean cross-over, and a teen-centered drama, with elements of super-naturalism. The webseries would feature 12 episodes, where detective Hamlet investigates the murder of Duncan. All characters are taken from Shakespeare’s plays. They exhibit traits which are revealed by the characters of the play (modified to suit the modern times). The title and the names of the episodes are all allusions to Shakespeare’s plays, poems and sonnets. There are frequent allusions to Shakespeare’s lines in each of the episodes. ‘Mortal Coil’ is an expression taken from Hamlet’s famous soliloquy, “To be or not to be”, where Hamlet refers to the human body as “mortal coil” (“when we have shuffled off this mortal coil…”), as he conceives the body as a coil of mortality, wrapping over and covering the immortal part, the soul.

The webseries Mortal Coil is set on the genre of murder mystery, and is teen-centred. It is set to feature 12 episodes.

The webseries would feature some prominent Shakespeare’s characters from several plays, playing it out in their own fused world, set in modern times and modern English.

We began planning for it in December 2019, and the script was written in early 2020, but the shoot was delayed due to Covid-19 outbreak.

The cast and crew members began shooting on location from 20.09.2020.

It is written and directed by Dr. Nilanko Mallik.

More details coming soon.
