A witty, warm romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and cross-dressing, where love triangles and clever wordplay lead to joyful resolution.

Shakespeare's comedy of gender confusion, in which a girl disguises herself as a man to be near the count she adores, only to be pursued by the woman he loves.
