It’s all in the rhyming!
 

In 18th-century Paris, poets are the rock stars of the day, and young people like Damis have gone métromanie—crazy for poetry Damis, a young, would-be poet with a serious case of verse-mania falls for a mysterious poetess from Breton. She turns out to be none other than a wealthy gentleman with a touch of the mania himself—looking to unload his sexy but dimwitte daughter—who also just happens to be cuckoo for couplets. Soon scheming servants, verbal
acrobatics and mistaken identities launch a breathless series of twists and turns in this contemporary adaptation of French farce by comedic master David Ives.
