It’s the beginning of the new school year at Evergreen Academy. Emma, a content creator becoming more popular by the day, is challenged by head cheerleader Stacy to matchmake five couples at the school by the end of the month—or lose access to her social media accounts. When her class is assigned a sonnet-writing project, Emma thinks it'll help her win the bet, until she realizes everyone has devoted their sonnet to the wrong person. With echoes of Cyrano de Bergerac, As You Like It, and Jane Austen’s Emma, Merely Players is a modern take on one of Shakespeare's most timeless truths: the course of true love never did run smooth.
