New England Premiere! Mistaken identities, courtly intrigue, and backstage bickering are all part of the fun in this raucous romantic comedy of errors, based on the Academy Award-winning film. On deadline to finish his play "Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter," young Will Shakespeare is suffering a severe case of writer's block. Enter Viola, a headstrong noblewoman and admirer of Will's, who disguises herself as a boy so she can skirt the law and appear (as a girl) in his play. When playwright and muse fall in love, the plot undergoes some surprising rewrites that remind us all the world's a stage.
