This was a witty, delightful romp, reminiscent of Shakespeare and with beautifully fantastical design and costumes.
Its European humour will be lost on many, but I laughed and chuckled my way through this gorgeous, gentle comedy from the Danes.
Based on the novel by Karen Blix, it is a tale of lust, beauty, honour and devotion. It's set in a fictional Danish court in the 1830s and makes great use of real-life Royal locations, provided by Queen Margrethe II.
I loved it even more after watching the behind the scenes doco, where I learnt the Queen was the driving creative force behind the production. She is utterly delightful.
