That is a good point Gary, and I won't give away the answer as to the movie.

I love how Ms. Tebbit sees Timothy at the auditions and says: "Delightful!", when after all "...our intent is to delight."

After watching this I went to the llibrary and checked out the 1930's Max Rheinholt version of A Midsummers Nights Dream, it helped to understand a lot of the references in WTWM.

One of the things I have picked up on was that essentially this is a story about Timothy, but it is also a story about Timothy and Jonathan. From early on we see Jonathan reaching out to him, offering to get him ice for his black eye, and it might be overlooked, but when Jonathan peeks thru the crack in the door to see Timothy's audition, we fall into Jonathan's day dream about the two of them.
