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.

By now most of you have heard about the new gay musical movie that is making waves everywhere. It seems that “Were the World Mine” is the movie of this year and from what I hear for years to come. Thomas Gustafson has directed a beautiful modern day and gay version of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” replete with great music, beautiful cinematography, a wonderful cast and lots of homoeroticism. Timothy (Tanner Cohen) is a gay boy who is a student in a private boys’ school and he is secretly in love with super rugby jock, Jonathan (Nathaniel David Becker). Both boys are students in Ms. Tebbit’s English class and she is a teacher who is determined to excite her students with literature. She decides to cast the two boys as the romantic leads in her summer production of the Shakespeare classic. She does as was done in Shakespearean times when males were cast in even the female roles and this riles the town people as well as the rugby coach. Timothy goes off into his gay fantasies but he can’t seem to get the language of Shakespeare right and his teacher tells him to let the words work their magic on him and as he does this, he discovers a magic potion in the script that makes people gay. All it takes is one spritz of the potion to make a person utterly gay. The town where the school is located is populated by Christian fundamentalists and as opening night for the play grows closer, everyone becomes increasingly more nervous. Timothy uses his potion to make most of the town gay but first he begins with the object of his youthful lust, Jonathan. We see as Shakespeare said that “the course of true love never runs smooth”. What makes this film so interesting is that the director is relatively new but somehow everything comes together. Wendy Robie as the English teacher is every gay boy’s dream of a high school instructor for one thing. Something else is the wonderful music and t
