Interesting, 'Councillor'....are you going to offer Her Majesty a ticket to see it when you meet her? *G*

I have to say I DO, of course, enjoy Midsummer Nights Dream now...even though there ARE others I enjoy more (I havent seen the modern Hollywodd version though (with Michelle Pfeiffer as Titania, was it?)

'Much Ado About Nothing' I LOVE....& the Branagh/Thompson/Keanu Reeves/Denzil Washington version is SUPERB.... Twelfth Night is also a fave of mine.

I have to agree with you about Branaghs Henry too, Alanabit..... & I'm a little surprised that the execution of the French captives wasnt included..... he was playing Henry 'dark' enough & hot-headed(if thats the right term) enough to have 'carried' that aspect of the tale, even if they had shown it as a 'revenge' for the attack on the baggage train & the boys.
