A Broad Abroad

For a challenge at tv_universe to "Make a TV Show." Mine's a spin-off of...well, you'll see.

Title: A Broad Abroad



Synopsis: Martha Rodgers has decided to leave New York behind her. With her mystery-writer son Richard Castle getting married to NYPD's Kate Beckett, and her granddaughter Alexis doing a university year in Spain, she decides to split the difference and take up a position in a small Shakespearean theater troupe in outer London. She hopes this will give her career a boost—and her life, which had, let’s be honest, gotten into a bit of a rut, even with all the excitement of The Big Apple, Alexis’s hijinks, and the romance and homicides of Richard’s and Kate’s daily fare.

She adores London and relishes the notion of a regular acting job, though she knows her parts will be smaller and fewer. Still, the life of the theater, the footlights, the camaraderie, and above all the PLAYS—what can it be but wonderful?

Little does she know what history there will be in the histories, what drama in the drama. And that touch of black in the comedies. But she will soon find out what it is to be…A Broad, in London!
