Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 3, No. 334. Monday, 23 November 1992. From: Ann Miller <This email address is being protected from spambots.

According to K. Rothwell & A. H. Melzer's _Shakespeare on Screen_ it was performed in 1976 by the American Conservatory Theatre, San Francisco and shown on WNET/13 in New York City. Its only apparently availability is through the Museum of Broadcasting, 1 East 53rd St., NY, NY 10022 although you might contact WNET. As for Stratford videos... When I was in Stratford this summer they had a petition going in the gift shop to try and persuade the CBC to release videotapes of recent Stratford productions for sale. I signed and thought that I really ought to mention this situation to my fellow SHAKSPEReans. Perhaps a letter campaign to the Festival for them to use as ammunition with the CBC? As a librarian, I would welcome the chance at purchasing some other video productions of Shakespeare's works even if filmed stage versions. ***************************************************** Ann E.

My attempts to obtain a copy have been frustrated by copyright, but the tape does exist. It was a splendid production, and I too should like to know if anyone has managed to locate a tape.

Am I the only one who is intrigued by this, but does not quite remember what exactly it offers? I for one should like to hear more about it. Balz EnglerThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. [Luc was referring to the "SPINOFF BIBLIO" file on the SHAKSPER FileServer. This file is a bibliography of poems, novels, plays, and films inspired by Shakespeare's life and works. I update it regularly, but I have not as yet included the "Moonlighting" SHREW or other spinoffs mentioned lately. SHAKSPEReans can retrieve "SPINOFF BIBLIO" by issuing the interactive command, "TELL LISTSERV AT UTORONTO GET SPINOFF BIBLIO SHAKSPER." If your network link does not support the interactive "TELL" command (i.e. if you are not directly on Bitnet), or if Listserv rejects your request, then send a one-line mail message (without a subject line) to LISTSERV@utoronto, reading "GET SPINOFF BIBLIO SHAKSPER." Should you have difficulty receiving this file, please contact the editor, <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > or <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. >. For an updated version of the file list, send the command "GET SHAKSPER FILES SHAKSPER" in the same fashion. For further information, consult the appropriate section of your SHAKSPER GUIDE. --hmc]

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 3, No. 330. Friday, 20 November 1992. From: Janet Wolf <WOLF@SNYCORVA> Date: Friday, 20 Nov 92 14:21 EDT Subject: 3.0322 Shrew videos and Moonlighting Comment: Re SHK 3.0322 Shrew videos and Moonlighting There are two videos of productions of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival (Ontario). One, starring Len Cariou and Shari Flett, can be purchased from the Stratford Festival Bookshop. The other is a more recent production (1988), set in 50's Italy and starring Colme Feore and Goldie Semple. Someone croons "Chances Are" at the wedding, Petruchio appears on a Vespa motor scooter. Bianca has a pink telephone and Kate dismembers her teddy bear. This was videotaped for CBC television later that year but never marketed. Perhaps someone in Canada or in the Northern U.S. who gets Canadian television could send you a copy. Or try the Education Liason at Stratford, Pat Quigley. About Moonlighting: I've never watched the program, but students tell me the Shepherd-Willis relationship on all the episodes is a good modern version of the Beatrice-Benedick relationship, and all of those Restoration "witty couples" that Beatrice and Benedick inspired: Dorimant and Harriet, Helena and Willmore, Millamant and Mirabell, etc. Janet Wolf SUNY Cortland Wolf@SNYCORVA
