Synopsis

William Shakespeare's classic romantic comedy transposed to the contemporary high school setting of chavs, goths, emos and geeks.

A kindly old headmaster is forcefully usurped by his ambitious deputy, who promptly suspends the old headmaster's daughter, Rosalind, the most popular girl in the school. Orlando, the school nerd, unexpectedly wins a wrestling match and becomes the object of Rosalind's affections. When the school is sent on a field trip Rosalind, with her friends Celia and Touchstone, decides to gate crash the trip disguising herself as a boy 'chav' which results in one of the most captivating and amusing love stories in Shakespearian literature. http://www.7and7.co.uk/like.html
