Subject: 	Three holiday delights
 
I hope I speak for many members of the Shakespeare Electronic
Conference in expressing a special delight in receiving three
recent messages.
 
I found most helpful and timely both Peter Scott's list of new/forthcoming
Shakespeare-related books and John D. Cox's account of Peter
Greenaway's new film "Prospero's Books."
 
I also felt that Tad Davis's message concerning Prof. Schoenbaum was a
particularly appropriate gesture of gratitude, and very pleasing to
those who (like me) do not know Schoenbaum personally but have used
and relied on his work.

Subject: 	[Unstaged Scenes; Olivier's *R3*]
 
My belated thanks to Steven Urkowitz on the question of staged and unstaged
scenes in revisions.  I detect from the irony in characterizing the editions
as naughty and nice that you did not have a strong opinion on whether the
melody unheard was sweeter or whether the action is better staged.  What do
you think ?
 
In answer to John Goodrich, a criticism of Olivier's RIII that I read and
agreed with is that the seduction of Anne is not played so as to make the
audience unsure as to whether Richard is actually sincere.  This is probably
a common criticism but I think I saw it in a book on production called
"Whatever happened to Shakespeare?"  - author's name will come to me within
this fortnight.
 
	[ed note: Perhaps Richard is thinking of Kenneth McClellan,
	_Whatever Happened to Shakespeare?_ (London: Vision, 1978).
	The University of Toronto library catalogue indicates that its
	subjects are stage history and adaptations of Shakespeare. -- k.s.]
