Directed by Adrian Noble. Transforming the story into the dream of a small boy, this highly inventive production brings Shakespeare’s work to the screen with friendly, erotic fairies and a surreal forest of doors and umbrellas. Adapted from the acclaimed stage production originally performed in Stratford-Upon-Avon by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the 1996 film features the same actors (some in dual roles) who elicit laughter, sympathy, and wonder as the mechanicals, lovers, and fairies. Rated PG-13 for sensuality. Grades 8 and up. Closed captioned. Color. 103 minutes. Channel Four.
