Try A Little Shakespeare
By a strange series of events, Steven and Serena Collins of Hollywood end up with two sets of female twins. Even stranger, they name one set of twins both Augustine, and the other set Destiny. Parents and children are separated on a cruise ship when it runs into a storm, leaving one Augustine and one Destiny with each parent. Twenty-one years later they all end up in Stratford, England and the comedy and errors begin.
Lyric excerpt below:
Try a Little Shakespeare
Everyone has heard
"To be or not to be"
"Wherefore art thou Romeo?"
But if you are like me,
Shakespeare doesn't have a prayer
I'd rather rent a video.
But did you know that every time
You send an "invitation",
See a "dewdrop", "compromise"
These are Shakespeare's creations?
Did you know that
Every time you eat an "anchovy"
Shakespeare used this word before
