‘The course of true love never did run smooth.’

A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers caught in a dispute of increasingly magical proportions. A group of wannabe actors determined to put on a play against the odds and one wild spirit is hell-bent on causing as much havoc as possible.

As the lovers’ dispute grows, the magical fairy couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious, but dark consequences.
