You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Subject: 2.0012 *Henry V* available in US Comment: RE: SHK 2.0012 *Henry V* available in US Regarding the availability of Branagh's *Henry V*, I have seen it for rental in a large video store chain here in South Florida. I called them just now, and the clerk says that at the moment they don't have copies for sale, but that they could order it. (Apparently in general they can be bought as soon as they become available for rental.) He said the cost would be high, about US$ 90. Tom Horton Computer Science, Florida Atlantic Univ.
Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 13. Tuesday, 15 Jan 1991. Date: Tue, 15 Jan 91 13:42:14 EST From:This email address is being protected from spambots.

Subject: RSC details 15 January 1991 The press conference at which the Royal Shakespeare Company announces the new Stratford season to start in the spring is scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) as I understand. This will be the first season under the new directorship of Adrian Noble. But a friend has telephoned to say that this morning's Guardian newspaper has published some details: In the Main House plans seem to be to present Romeo, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night and 1 & 2 Henry 4. The schedule for the Swan is expected to include three Theban Plays by Sophocles, Shadwell's The Virtuoso, Jonson's Alchemist, and Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona. No word that I know of yet on the rebuilt Other Place. If there are corrections to this, I will try to supply them. The past season was generally considered a success but I do not know exactly what is to happen to the London side of the RSC at the Barbican which, as many readers will know, has had to go dark this winter because of government cuts for the first time since the company moved there.

(2) --------------------------------------------------------------34---- Date: Mon, 14 Jan 91 23:32:59 MST From: John Morris <JMORRIS@UALTAVM> Subject: Recorded versions of *Twelfth Night* Regarding Laurie Osborn's query about recorded versions of *Twelfth Night*: The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation taped a Stratford Festival version of *Twelfth Night* a couple of years ago. The CBC often makes these kinds of things available to schools. You can find out whether they did in this case by writing to their head office: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, P.O. Box 500, Station A, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5W 1E6. (All patriotic Canadians know this address by heart, of course) (3) --------------------------------------------------------------39---- Date: Tue, 15 Jan 91 13:11:23 EST From: Ken Steele <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Subject: CBC Videotapes of Shakespeare I thought I'd save SHAKSPEReans the trouble of writing to the CBC right here in Toronto by giving CBC Enterprises (the merchandising division) a quick telephone call. Their agent confirmed that, yes, the CBC did videotape a Stratford, Ontario production of *Twelfth Night*, in 1985. This tape was "withdrawn", however, about a year ago and is no longer available through CBC. You might be able to find copies of it in University or Public libraries, however. While I had them on the line, I asked whether CBC had any other Shakespearean offerings, or was planning to release any of the Stratford performances broadcast on CBC recently. (Last Christmas it was the Stratford *Taming of the Shrew*; this past Christmas it was *The Comedy of Errors*.) The answer was a resounding no -- so fortunately I taped those myself as they were broadcast. While we're on the subject of videocassettes and their availability: I may soon join the Columbia Video Club in order to get a copy of Zeffirelli's *Romeo & Juliet* (and six other tapes) for 45 cents (plus, naturally, heavy postage and handling fees). I'm still waiting for the release of Kenneth Branagh's *Henry V* on VHS, which I sincerely hope will occur -- has anyone any idea? A number of SHAKSPEReans have expressed an interest in compiling a list of available videotapes of Shakespeare -- does anyone know of any sources and what they might stock? Thanks in advance.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 11. Monday, 14 Jan 1991. Date: Mon, 14 Jan 91 08:56:30 EST From: Mark Lee <IRMSS908@SIVM> Subject: Query: Video *Twelfth Night* Comment: SHK 2.0010 Query: Video *Twelfth Night* From: Mark Lee Office Applications Group, OIRM Arts & Industries Building Room 2310 I am reaching back a number of years and so I can not give you the crystalline information you need, but it may provide a clue which you can use. The New York City Shakespeare Festival produced a performance of Twelfth Night in Central Park which was filmed, I believe, by New York Public Television. William Hurt played Oberon. Not much I admit, but possibly helpful. +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | Mark Lee | Phone: (202) 357-4222 | | Smithsonian Institution | E-Mail: IRMSS908 @ SIVM.BITNET | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+

You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (Laurie E. Osborne) Subject: Video Twelfth Night I am working on a seminar paper for SAA (and a book chapter) addressing video/film editions of Twelfth Night. I'd appreciate any info SHAKSPERians can offer about what versions are available, and if possible where. I am operating more or less on the assumption that the BBC production is the only one which is usually available to students, but I am most interested in any others you have heard of. Thanks.
