I was pleasantly surprised by Mel Gibson in Hamlet, although he'll never be a Branagh or and Olivier....

did anyone see the fairly recent "A Midsummer nights dream"... with Michelle Pfeiffer? Just wondering if it's worth getting out on video.... I love the play...

saw it done once in Belfast by the RSC, all the faeries were dressed as nughty school kids (like St Trinians).......

also saw it done here in Sydney in the Botanic gardens, we had to follow a faery carrying a blazing torch through the park in the dark to a little amphitheatre which they had transformed into fairyland..... wonderfully atmospheric, with faerys appearing out of bushes and trees, and Puck flying about on an aerial slide.....
