Synopsis

Sparky Christina and her gifted adopted sister Pam, forceful, motherless Jago and strangely weightless Peter, coincide to embark on a dazzling series of pairings and partings, outrageous coincidences and eleventh-hour entrances. As Christina analyses the wit, cruelty and crossed genders of Shakespearean comedy, and the juggling feats by which they end so neatly, their own lives are also entering the last act. Jago and Pam, Peter, Christina and her parents, forceful Joe and obliging Alice - along with a long-lost twin, an unfrocked priest, Christina's best friend and Alice's ex-fiance, among others - take the final curtain in some gloriously unexpected couples....
