Comment:        SHK 10.0198 Re: The Shrew Tape Mystery

A slight correction.  The American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco
has often been called The San Francisco Conservatory on this list.  The
PBS Shrew in question was actually an ACT production, not an SFC
production.  There is no SFC, except for the San Francisco Conservatory
of Music.

Guess where I live.

I don't have SHREW'S date at hand.  I am in my office and my books are
at home.  The easiest to find references are probably the TV/film
edition SHAKESPEARE SURVEY, # 38, I think, and Rothwell's wonderful and
almost comprehensive SHAKESPEARE ON SCREEN.  A bit harder to find is
SHAKESPEARE ON TELEVISION, edited by Bullman and Lasardi (?).  If memory
serves, it is listed there as well.

All the best,
Mike Jensen
