Nothing Sacred -cd

At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.

The central column below consists of a significant name or names — writer, director, and/or actor — to help identify each movie, or television show or series, without pretending to be a definitive list or label. Reels are one-reel or two-reel films (one-reeler or two-reeler, to use the old terminology) short films of any type, or individual television episodes; Feature Films are generally theater headliners, standalone DVDs, or television series. All screen presentations are in color with sound unless stated otherwise.

[A street or public square in Verona.]

Benvolio:

Queen Mab, what's she?

Mercutio:

She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep.
  
Her wagon spokes made of long spinners' legs;
The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers;
Her traces, of the moonshine's wat'ry beams;
Her collars, of the smallest spider web;
Her whip, of cricket's bone, the lash of film; ...
  
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love; ...

William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, 1.4.54-64, 71-72
