Title: Very enjoyable
Product review: On the whole I very much enjoyed this, though, as many of the reviewers say, there are some dreadful lapses in judgment in the staging, especially the Finale to Act 2. The standout performances, I thought,are Anne Collins as the Fairy Queen and Derek Hammond-Stroud as the Lord Chancellor. They are formidable as well as absurd, and their confrontation at the end of Act I is very impressive. The invasion of Parliament by the fairies in the Act I finale works very well, I thought; there is something quite eerie about it as well as ridiculous. Tolloler and Mountararat are a little weak. The transformation of Strephon from innocent Arcadian shepherd to self-satisfied, sneering Parliamentarian is astonishing; he's barely recognizable.
