Description

We return to Shakespeare's true love: cross-dressers.


When Viola gets washed up on the Illyrian coast, she simply has no choice but to dress up as a boy and enter the service of the sexy local lord... Hi-jinks ensue. This good, cross-dressing girl gets caught up in love triangles and mistaken identity.


We once more ask: Is Shakespeare good at comedy? Join us to find out!
