Noble's debut, devoid of imagination, 27 September 2003
Author: didi-5 from United Kingdom

The news that the former RSC chief Adrian Noble is now planning to make a comedy movie with Meg Ryan sends me back to this, his film directorial debut, based on his successful stage production of 'Dream' in Stratford and London in the mid-1990s. The ideas are great but sadly it doesn't gel, the costumes and settings look cheap and the great acting from the likes of Alex Jennings and Lindsay Duncan looks out of place. Enjoyable then only in fits and starts.
