PAUL! Thank you for this--now I am desperate to see 'Fairies' forthwith!
Best ever: Wendy Robie has literally the Last Word: Luscious!
Yes!

My advice to the Advisory: Boys should kiss boys often--period!

and see it directly on YouTube.
(Mr. Wolf really seems to have a Were the World Mine kind of aesthetic, don't you think?)

It's still winsome and luscious. I liked it better the second time even.
I thought I caught something new: there was a part where I thought Timothy was going to use the magic pansy to try to get his parents back together. It looked to me as if they contemplated this (the split had been alluded to), but decided against it, as it would spoil the "gay thing".
Anyway, the Midsummer Night's Dream thing was wonderful: such an accessible play to high school students of any time.
You're right, John, the production looked marvelous.
BTW, Mr. Gustafson and Mr. Kreuckenberg presented the film at the Provincetown film festival. Boy, it's so hard to get these little indie gems shown. Good luck to them.
