Sicily’s beloved King Enzo is dead. Now Princess Rosa, a stroppy spinster, must navigate the tempestuous waters of belching Step-Fathers, lusty suitors, popping cod pieces and menopausal witches, to face her destiny.

Award Winning New Zealander, and farthest flung fringe act, Penny Ashton (Promise and Promiscuity) is heading to the home of the bard to add some Kiwi sizzle to the canon. She’ll spark 11 characters into life in a brand new Elizabethan tale of magic, meddling and puffed bull’s pizzles, that “Shakespeare himself would be proud of”. (Theatrescenes) Riddled with quotes, characters and allusions from Will himself, plus songs set to Gershwin, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Puccini and more, this is a jam packed 90 minutes of comedy, dance and bawdy wordplay. It's just like Shakespeare, only shorter.
