Three plots intertwine: the entangled love affairs of Demetrius, Helena, Lysander and Hermia; the comic performance of a "play within a play" by the tradesmen of Athens and the antics in fairyland of King Oberon and Queen Titania. The brilliant cast features Helen Mirren, Peter McEnery, Pippa Guard, Brian Glover and Phil Daniels, "They are all accomplished performers, but the director has given the extra dimension of using them brilliantly in terms of television" says The New York Times.
Taped Aug. 15-21, 1984 at the BBC Television studios in London.
