There is something wonderful about this BBC Television Shakespeare adaptation. It is slowed paced and rather academic in its production, but there is a darkness within it. The staging is dark and it really isn't afraid to highlight the darker aspects of the arguments between Titania and Oberon or the codependancy of the main players. Which makes the humour and the fun of AMND come all the more to life when contrasted with this. Helen Mirren was the perfect Titania: full of sexuality and power and mischief and humour. Phil Daniels was a smile-inducing Puck. You really feel like you spend a few hours lost in the fantasy land of the forest with this magical and whacky play. One of the better screen versions available for sure.
