Title: Stuck in a Time Warp
Product review: Since not much is known about Henry Purcell's life, the DVD focuses on the rantings of a writer/actor seeking to portray the England of Purcell's time. Unfortunately, the scenes jump from the late 1960's to the 1600's and back again in a distracting manner. A lot of time is wasted on soap box monologues that have nothing to do with Purcell, or the England of his day. The DVD is a patchwork of dramatic scenes leading to the dramatist's hoped-for goal. In retrospect, this type of filming has become cliche.
