When young lioness Violet is separated from her twin brother by a storm at sea, she must find her way alone in an unknown country. Disguised as a boy, she finds work helping a preposterous peacock win the love of the most graceful gazelle in town, but it's not long before Violet is torn between multiple masters and the whole menagerie is tangled in matters of the heart.
Travel to the weird and wonderful land of Illyria in this magical, clever comedy.
REVIEWS:
"The humor within the script is smart, wicked and silly... It has the fun and feisty attitude of an episode of The Animaniacs or the classic Muppet Show. It is self-aware without being meta and it makes a centuries-old classic story new again."
New City
"Lots of fun and very silly... Kauzlaric takes care to insert lessons about friendship, love, and the importance of being oneself (even when you're an actor dressed as a lioness disguised as a lion) that feel neither forced nor superfluous."
