KING CAKE

In the bawdy, ribald tradition of Thorne Smith, this satire on political correctness should have something to amuse and offend just about everyone.

In this blatant rip-off of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (which, in turn, was a blatant rip-off of Apollonius and Silla by Barnabe Rich, which was a blatant rip-off of Histories Tragideis by Francois Belleforest, which was a blatant rip-off of Novelle by Matteo Bandello, which was a blatant rip-off of an Italian play GI Ingannati by a playwright who had the goodly wit to remain anonymous), a twin brother and sister, separated in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, encounter one adventure after another as they struggle to survive in a gay new environment.
