Tackling sensitive issues such as racial and sexual discrimination in the 1940s, this is the story of the Oberon Playhouse, whose director and leading men are off at war with the Axis. Determined to press on, the director’s wife sets out to produce an all-female version of Shakespeare’s Henriad, assembling an increasingly unexpected team united in desire, if not actual theatre experience. Together they deliver a powerful celebration of collaboration and persistence, in the face of adversity, as the show must go on!

“Entertainingly captures the true meaning of being an American. Delightful and thoroughly engaging.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch
