Hey now, this is neat.  A special on the staging of Dream, including video from the famous Brooks version.  Note that this is only one of three parts, so be sure to follow through all three of them.

I like how they talk about the little details – should the fairies have wings?  If they have wings, should they fly?  Great stuff!
