Celebrated novelist and playwright Ann-Marie MacDonald (Fall on Your Knees and the Belfry musical Anything That Moves) goes nose-to-nose with the Bard in this delicious romp through time and space. When a lovelorn academic -- convinced that Shakespeare's Othello and Romeo and Juliet were intended to be comedies -- is transported into the middle of these masterpieces, she begins a comic journey that proves that Romeo, Juliet, Othello and Desdemona ain't what they used be. And neither is our heroine!
In a seaside hotel, 85 year-old Nora sings beside a baby grand, and dances with her aging beau. Outside, her world is starting to crumble. Increasingly in need of extended care, and told she must leave her home in the seniors' residence, Nora resolves to follow her heart and find a solution to her dilemma.
