Midsummer Night’s Scream, A

Alternative title
Night Show: A Midsummer Night’s Scream, The
Synopsis
Spoof arts magazine show. In this episode researcher-turned-director Jenny has the thankless task of interviewing up-and-coming writer William Shakespeare. He is producing his play A Midsummer Night’s Dream and when he is taken to a forest to be interviewed about his work he turns truculent, and nature turns nasty as art begins to imitate life imitating art.
