This suffocating psychodrama was a feast of brilliant acting, and a success Dench built on with a performance as a sexy Titania in Peter Hall's film of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Dame Edith Evans famously refused to play the role owing to her belief that the part was incomplete, that the character's psychological collapse happened offstage and allowed the actor little opportunity to convey such a huge plot development.
But in 1978 Dench pulled it off with one of the most hair-raising scenes in TV history, somehow encapsulating that vague theatrical concept of "going mad" with her now legendary satanic scream.

Morning Edition, June 17, 2004 ·; Judi Dench has won major acting awards on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Oscar, the Tony and six Oliviers (England's top theatrical honor).

 Dench, Judi
One of the leading classical actresses of her generation, Judi Dench is unique in having sustained a television career that, both in breadth and depth, more than matches her work for the stage.
Her first television appearance, a small part in a live broadcast of the thriller Family on Trial, came within two years of her graduation and was followed soon after by the title roles in a six-part serialisation of Arnold Bennett's Hilda Lessways and a production by Stuart Burge of Major Barbara.
Indeed, one of Judi Dench's most instantly recognisable features is a vocal timbre so husky that an early commercial for which she had provided the voice-over had to be withdrawn because it was too suggestive.
