Description
In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare's plays for television. The resulting productions, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought highly praised performances from leading contemporary actors - A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM [1981] In the woods of Athens, runaway couples, the King and Queen of the fairies, the impish sprite Puck and a band of common artisans prove "the course of true love never did run smooth" as they play out a comedy of love and the confusion it sometimes brings.nnShakespeare's fairytale comedy contains some of the most lyrical expressions of love, dreams and imagination. The production is star-studded, with Helen Mirren as Titania and Peter McEnerey as Oberon dominationg the proceedings, supported by a superb cast. As the 'New York Times' wrote "they are all accomlished performers, but the director has given the extras dimension of using them brilliantly in terms of television."
