The play will reportedly revolve around the heist of the Shaolin Clan's one-of-a-kind album
A group of Theatre producers are seeking funding for their Wu-Tang, Bill Murray and Martin Shkreli inspired musical, about an attempted heist of the Clan's only physical album in existence Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.
The backstory for the play revolves around the notorious pharmaceutical CEO, Shkreli, who became the internet's most hated man for buying the rights to the AIDS drug Daraprim and increasing the cost of the drug by an exorbitant amount.
The millionaire villain grew even more unpopular after it was revealed that he was the buyer of Wu-Tang Clan’s one-of-a-kind album for $2 million. It was rumoured that one of the LP's hilarious clauses was that active Wu-Tang members were entitled to team up with actor Bill Murray and execute a “heist or caper” to get back the album.
This contract clause has since been rubbished by all parties, but it is being used as the story for the proposed Wu-Tang musical.
