My thanks to the contact which made my download and then recode and edit possible. Elsewhwre on my file list are other Stratford Festival plays from the series for fundraising as well as the dvd of Christopher Plummer in Shakespeare's The Tempest also at Stratford. The capture is flawed: It has some dropped frames but the sound is not damaged. I don't know if subtitles were ever available for it. Notes written April 4th, 2021
