麻豆约拍

Dr Battista, an obsessively dedicated scientist, lives with his two daughters Kate and Bunny in Baltimore.

Kate has married her father's researcher Pyotr, in order for him to get a visa to stay.

Following a somewhat chaotic wedding ceremony and a dash by Pyotr to catch the liberator of their lab-mice - once they realised who was responsible - order has been restored at last.

Now the wedding celebrations can begin in earnest, with congratulations to the happy couple and a glimpse into what their future holds, despite their rather unconventional courtship.

As part of the Hogarth Shakespeare project authors of international standing were invited to select a play and to write a contemporary version of it as a novel.
