A marriage of old and new that's easily divorced from modern reality and therefore doesn't work when regurgitated verbatim in contemporary times. Great actors doing what it says on the side of their tin, allowing them to revel in their ruffs and blusher, imaginative in other aspects too but ultimately, however, a snake in their tights that cascades them back to square one - some things soak, marinate and mature others decay, corrode and compost, the catalyst of the ye olde moment, cannot always be preserved and translated into thy modernity.
