Unit set
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. The latest hit from the author of Broadway's Crazy for You, Lend Me a Tenor, Moon over Buffalo, and Twentieth Century.
"Shakespeare in Hollywood will charm your socks off" -Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal. "A fast, funny, entertaining night!"-Arch Campbell, NBC-4. "So deliciously inventive, you'd swear that Ludwig and the Bard were in cahoots."-J.Wynn Rousuck, The Baltimore Sun.
WINNER of the 2004 Helen Hayes Award for Best New Play.
