About this product

Product Information

A stellar cast, headed by Michelle Pfeiffer and Kevin Kline, bring Shakespeare's most romantic comedy to life. When two pairs of star-crossed lovers, a troop of inept amateur actors, a feuding pair of supernatural sprites and a love potion gone awry all come together in an enchanted moonlit forest, the result is an unequalled mixture of merriment and magic. Also starring Calista Flockhart, Stanley Tucci and Rupert Everett.

OK version of Shakespeare's play
This DVD was what I expected except that the film was very dark and I could not see the night time scenes very well. This was probably due to the original filming and on a big screen probably OK, but a bit disappointing viewing it on the TV screen

Great adaptation
This is an adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", which is Shakespeare's most romantic comedy. The cast is stellar and the settings are amazingly beautiful. It is one to watch again, as a special treat in the future, and I bought is accordingly. This a lovely, memorable film and is not to be missed.

A new lens on an old favourite
Enjoyed this version of Shakespeare's classic very much. A different historical context shows the themes in A Midsummer Night's Dream still span society, in whichever century or societal context it is set.
