It looked even worse after I had been to the Southwark Playhouse to see the "7actordream"- that was very funny and clever with a cast of 7 excellent very busy actors, a lot of imagination and improvisation and some extras from the audience. Sometimes less is more. Highly recommended.

Saw this the other day and I suppose overall I enjoyed it. There were a few things that I didn't like - Puck for example wasn't Puckish enough - Matt Lucas' Bottom as The Ass wasn't hee hawey enough - and I'm not quite sure what Elaine Paige was up to but her laugh at one point was enough to put me off her performance in the same way that her laugh puts me off listening to her radio show. Parts I did like were the OTT perfomances by Pyramus and Thisbe and Bernard Cribbins' solid Wall. Maxine Peake delighted as did the four lovers whose dream we shared. I pàrticularly liked the all singing and dancing joyous finale. Brought back memories of RSC finales from the 70s. Just my humble opinion and certainly not a waste of time for me.
