Just saw the 1960s Midsummer Night's Dream produced by the RSC and starring Judy Dench and Ian Holm. Absolutely ghastly. Has anyone else seen this?
"Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices, that, if I then had wak'd after long sleep, will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming, the clouds methought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me, that, when I wak'd, I cried to dream again"
