"Thy small pipe
Is as the maiden's organ, shrill and sound,
And all is semblative a woman's part."
- Twelfth Night, Act I, scene 4
Loosely based on Twelfth Night, Flipside is the story of a young actor
who pretends to be gay to get a cheap sublet. The actor, Robbie, falls in
love with his roommate, Rachel, and Rachel’s closeted boyfriend, Jamie,
falls for Robbie, add to the mix Robbie’s conservative father, two less-
than-successful former aspiring stars, a precocious intern, and a drag
queen named Hershey Kiss, and hilarity ensues.
Enter the world of Flipside, where people go to extremes to figure out
who they are.
Is as the maiden's organ, shrill and sound,
And all is semblative a woman's part."
