Synopsis:
The most famous love story, 5 boys, 5 girls, 1 room, 2 hours, an experiment. This is Shakespeare wrapped in a towel, singing to himself in the mirror. This is Shakespeare sweating it up on a football field, mud underneath his nails, quiffing his hair and pashing girls. It is raw, dirty, and full of life and death. It is a rough, gutteral and honest-ish experience that explores the irrational and powerful nature of love.
