Craig Felton is a Year 10 Killara High School football hero and a legend in his own half time. Craig scores when he goes on the Shakespeare ride and becomes a real player.

He figures the best way to pull the chicks is to star in the school play. At sixteen, he reckons he's the perfect Puck. So do the girls. At seventeen, he's the Home and Away Hamlet and then the Neighbours Romeo, not to mention the Schoolies Prince Hal. By eighteen, he's been through the complete works, his midsummer night's dream turning into a testosterone-fueled tempest.

This cabaret-musical is a teenage Shakespearean soap with a sting in the tail.

To be or not to be a Shakespearean lover: that is the question.
SHAKESPEAREAN IDOL is the answer.
