Description

The mischievous magic of moviedom sparkles in this hilarious comic romp.

It’s 1934, and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialised 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”, they are tossed into loopy love triangles, with raucous results.
