A Midsummer Night's Dream was produced by Rediffusion for ITV and transmitted on 24th June 1964.

The show had a starry lineup which featured Patrick Allen, Anna Massey, Peter Wyngarde, Jill Bennett and John Fraser, but the bulk of the publicity centred on the casting of Benny Hill in the main comedy role, Bottom the weaver.



A traditional production with Mendelssohn's music, naturalistic scenery and some brief stretches of singing and ballet. Very dated now of course, but a fascinating bit of TV history, in decent picture and sound quality for its age.

This is the cast list as it appears onscreen:

Theseus Patrick Allen
Hippolyta Eira Heath
Egeus Cyril Luckham
Philostrate Tony Bateman
Helena Jill Bennett
Lysander John Fraser
Demetrius Clifford Elkin
Hermia Maureen Beck
Titania Anna Massey
Oberon Peter Wyngarde
Puck Tony Tanner
Flute Alfie Bass
Snout Bernard Bresslaw
Snug Arthur Hewlett
Starveling Bill Shine
Quince Miles Malleson
and
Bottom Benny Hill
