The Sunken Amphitheater

A heatwave exposes stone seats in the lake where actors perform tragedies underwater for an audience of fish and drowned patrons. Attendance grants fame and water in the lungs. Stage a finale that frees the players, profit from the show, or drown the director who sold tickets to the dead.
