...characters bordered on becoming stereotypes; Chaplin's featherweight BBC journalist and Shelley Duvall's L.A. Joan are cases in point. Rudolph skirted this chronic problem by allowing his cast considerable freedom to exercise their improvisational skills.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is at once a producer of magical events and a product of the wood outside Athens where it occurs. Shakespeare wrote about mortals and spirits tangled in a complicated web of deception and enchantment. In Benjamin Britten's operatic version of the play the twinings of reality and illusion combine to confuse all the wanderers in the wood. The fairies bewitch...
