CGiii Comment

A Midsummer Night's Dream gets updated (again) with a gay twist (again) and some truly terrible contemporary music.

This went on to become a full length feature...no accounting for taste.

90 minutes of this will have you savagely stabbing screwdrivers in your ears.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Screened in over 75 international film festivals (including the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival), "Fairies" is a musical fantasy come true. Timothy is bullied by homophobic classmates at his all boys high school. While studying A Midsummer Night's Dream, he imagines a world where he isn't so different. With the help of Midsummer, his quirky teacher, a spectacular musical dream and tons of glitter- he creates a way to fit in.
