Lights, Camera, Shakespeare! It’s 1934 and Shakespeare’s famous fairies Oberon and Puck magically have materialized in Hollywood on the set of Max Reinhardt’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at Warner Brothers Studio.

Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour, they are ushered into the world of the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. A feisty flower helps lure blonde bombshells, movie moguls and other arrogant show biz folks into loopy love triangles with raucous results. Mischievous magic sparkles in this hilarious movieland romp by the author of Broadway’s “Crazy for You,” “Lend Me a Tenor,” and “Moon Over Buffalo.” Winner of the 2004 Helen Hayes Award for Best Play and one of the most-produced plays by US community theatres in the last two years.
