What an exceptional production this is - remarkably good. Much thanks for putting this up. What a wonderful & benevolent act. A fabulous Elizabethan play acted superbly.

I read this in college, and a couple of times after; I always liked it, but had never seen it. Thanks very much for this posting. I enjoyed it tremendously.
