Russell T Davies Remembers... A Midsummer Night's Dream
2 members
Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies explains how his lifelong dream of bringing A Midsummer Night’s Dream to television ultimately became a reality. He talks through his casting choices, from Maxine Peake and Nonso Anozie as Titania and Oberon, to Matt Lucas and Elaine Paige as Bottom and Mistress Quince, and Bernard Cribbins in what would be his final role, playing Snout.
Russell talks about the decision to set the play’s events inside a fascist dictatorship ruled over by John Hannah’s evil Theseus and discusses how his cast and crew managed to create such a well-received adaptation of one of the Bard’s best-loved works - believing that the final ten minutes in particular contains moments he will remain proud of forever.
