Shakespeare's sonnets of love are timeless These seven plays, each paired with the sonnet that inspired it, are startling nor only in the variety of their mood, content, and setting, but also in their unusual interpretation—a rich and marvelously entertaining celebration of the modern playwrights' adoration of the Bard Adult Language and Mature Themes

Though this pastoral romance comedy was originally set in the Middle Ages, director Leonard Kelly has chosen the sixties with its vibrant and psychedelic motif The story is about four different sets of lovers who each represent the different faces of love A fun play with exquisite language
