"In 60's Britain, and the world has gone mad! There's rock-n-roll and magic in the air. Lovers marry and then are forced to separate, wagers are placed on fidelity, and our heroine dresses as a boy to win back her true love. New families are discovered, poisons work and then don't, and Jupiter comes down from on high to oversee this wild ride. It's a Shakespeare play like no other where anything can happen!"
