This fun, dazzling and amusing musical-of-errors with a first rate ensemble cast and dishy lead is a magical, modern interpretation of Shakespeare, set amidst the familiar scenarios of high school angst and adolescent crushes. Timothy copes at his expensive, testosterone-fuelled boys’ school by daydreaming elaborate musical extravaganzas that feature the school’s rugby team.<br /><br />When the eccentric drama coach casts him as Puck from <i>A Midsummer Night’s Dream</i>, it looks like Timothy’s sequin-filled dreams could turn into reality. Especially when he finds a potent love spell hidden within the script. He now has the means, and his fascination for rugby star Jonathon provides the motive, to turn the whole narrow-minded small homophobic town gay.
