When a provincial library pulps its books in favor of e-readers, Henry V must lead the other plays in?a rare collection of Shakespeare to safety in the British Museum.

Notes:
I suggest Henry V instead of Macbeth ?because the mature “Hank” was Shakespeare’s model for kingship. And then you can buddy Henry ?with?Falstaff, as a?trickster character, for comic relief.
Minor quibble: ?National Archives are for government documents, not literature. [If the setting is in the U.S., their destination would be the Library of Congress]. ?Of course, one of the complications could be that they set out for the wrong location.
Yes, I think this concept has legs especially if the gimmick is that each play reflects the defining characteristic of its title or salient characters. ?Hamlet is indecisive, can’t make up his mind whether to go or not to go. … ?Julius Caesar and Richard III think they should lead the literary expedition. . ?Lacy Macbeth nags her husband to man up, and take charge… ?Antony just wants to shack up somwhere with Cleopatra… ? ?Romeo & Juliet must struggle to keep the truce, stop their supporting cast from feuding in sword fights… ?Prospero thinks the solution to every complication along the way is sorcery…
“This is very midsummer madness.”

How about something like:
A teenage drug courier must undertake a suicidal drug run to save the life of her sister being held hostage by her drug boss.

That she’s been talking to the police is a complication for her and a motivation for the drug boss. ?But it seems to me that the kernel of the concept is that she’s trying to redeem herself, rectify her bad choices, reboot her life. ?And maybe she will survive. ?And maybe she’ll die. ?But at least she’s going to save her sister’s life if she can’t save her own.
fwiw.
