Customer Reviews

an absolute classic
I might be a bit biased here as it was this BBC-production that, when shown on German television about twenty years ago, brought me to be a Shakespeare devotee, but I still think that it is absolutely the best adaption of the Dream so far- Helen Mirren and Peter Mc Enery are great as Titania and Oberon and as for Robert Lindsay, he was a marvellous Lysander, way out of his depth when lost in the woods. It may not have the Tuscan views of the big Hollywood version with Rupert Everett, but for sheer histrionic brilliance, I`d watch it over and over again!
