My script is 19th century duellist meets Ancient Greek afterlife.
  An Excerpt from The Ferryman

Well, I put up the first page of script but all the formatting died and it became unreadable. So I'll just put a synopsis : Alain de Gilles, the most accomplished pistol duellist in 19th century France, is shot dead through misfortune and a misfiring pistol. He is buried, following his wishes, with a pistol and two pieces of shot - one over each eye - so that he may shoot the ferryman at the river Styx. This he does, catapulting the Ferryman into mid-19th century France and launching himself on an adventure through the Greek underworld armed only with a pistol and a single shot.
