A Midsummer Night's Dream

Duration: 1 hour, 55 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Scotland

Whimsical interpretation of one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies. The evergreen tale of young romance, squabbling fairies and amateur dramatics is translated to late-19th-century Tuscany, where a series of tangled relationships is further complicated by harsh civic laws, a domineering father, and a magic flower in the hands of an impish spirit of the forest.
