Performed successfully during the California Shakespearean Festival in Visalia, this play-- woven from Shakespearean scenes, songs, and sonnets--presents "Shakespeare's uni versal, enduring, fully human values about love" in a "rich Shakespearean tapestry of romance," state the authors, Libby Appel and Michael Flachmann.

The play is organized into two acts con taining four dramatic sections "Discovering Love," "Seeking Advice about Love," "Hav ing Problems with Love," and "Finding Solu tions to Love's Problems." To the right of each page of text is a clear, understandable glossary defining difficult words; at the bot tom of these pages occasional longer notes explicate obscure or difficult references; each facing left-hand page contains stage di rections. This creates a theatrical prompt-book format, leaving plenty of blank space for recording notes, ideas, and stage directions.
