Tagline: Get to the Bottom of Love

Plot Summary: Shakespeare's comedy about two couples in love with the wrong partners, and how they are finally brought together rightly, thanks in part to the bungling work of Puck. It is completely in the language of the Bard, with Pfeiffer as the Fairy Queen and Kline as the one turned into her evening's lover with donkey ears.

Comments: Pretty fantasy. Great cast, lovely settings. I am a fan of Shakespeare reset so this fills the bill. Choice of Tuscany is good. Tucci a wonderful Puck. "What fools these mortals be", never sounded truer. Michelle Pfeiffer in a fantasy bower...sigh.
