Mish-mash on screen, 26 August 2004
Author: alex sutton from bristol

The Fairy Queen, being the bizarre affair that it is, can only really be loosely based on the Shakespeare, so what we're presented with here is a trippy drug infused campfest which would make for glorious ENO viewing, but doesn't quite relate onto the screen very well. Whats left is a celebration of hilarity, but unfortunately the extremity of love-loss, isn't quite reached, despite Kenny's beautifully sung 'lament'. Saying this, its short and too the point, and a treasure from the baroque English operatic rep. a good staging, but flawed.
