"This is a screwball comedy with depth. [...] The play was packed the night I went, and no wonder: Shakespeare in Hollywood’s a rightfully hot ticket. "
|
"...director Chris Pinto makes expert use of a dream cast, as well as a revolving set, plenty of 1930s music and gorgeous costumes."
|
 Lights, Camera, Shakespeare! It's 1934, and Shakespeare's most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialized on the Warner Bros. Hollywood set of Max Reinhardt's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. With a little help from a feisty flower, blonde bombshells, movie moguls, and arrogant "asses" are tossed into loopy love triangles, with raucous results.
The mischievous magic of moviedom sparkles in this hilarious comic romp.
Winner of the Helen Hayes Award for Best New Play |
