If you had a love-potion, who would you make
fall madly in love with you? Timothy, prone to escaping his dismal high school
reality through dazzling musical daydreams, gets to answer that question in a
very real way. After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer
Night’s Dream, he stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the
play’s magical, purple love-pansy. Armed with the pansy, Timothy’s fading spirit
soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded
town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends
and enemies in this heart-wrenching chaos, Timothy forces them to walk a mile in
his musical shoes. The course of true love never did run smooth, but by the end
of this moving musical comedy of errors based on director Tom Gustafson’s
prolific award-winning short film, Fairies, the bumpy ride comes to a heartfelt
conclusion. With vibrant imagery, a first-rate ensemble cast and innovative
music rivaling the best of pop/ rock and contemporary Broadway, Were the World
Mine attempts to push modern gay cinema and musical film beyond expectation. |
