JUDI DENCH - DENCH LANDS FAIRY ROLE

DENCH LANDS FAIRY ROLE

DAME JUDI DENCH is resurrecting her role as TITANIA in William Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM - 56 years since she first played the fairy queen.
The veteran actress first starred as Titania in a school production and went on to play her again in a 1962 stage show and the film version six years later.
And the 74 year old will don her wings again - she is set to tackle the role for a fourth time in a new stage adaption at the Rose Theatre in London.
The Royal Shakespeare Company's artistic director Michael Boyd says, "Judi Dench has not aged in the same way that normal people do and her imagination remains as free as that of a small child or a fairy."
The production will begin its run next year (10).
