The Broadway Theatre Archive ************** Yes....well worth checking out...even the "bad" productions. I remember when "School for Scandal" aired. I was in college then and all my design teachers LOVED the costumes! YIKES! They're dreadful but for Mrs Candor's. The "King Lear" with James Earl Jones and Raul Julia is GREAT....and it has many things against it ...like it was a Shakespeare in the Park performance filmed outside with the [by today's standards] large mikes CF on every costume. "The Skin of our Teeth" is very good too. And there's also American Film Theatre...which is equally uneven. I'm not sure if there's anything 17th century in there. There is "Luther". And "Galileo". There's a great "The Iceman Cometh" [Takes place in the 19 teens] which is loooong and you want to kill yourself afterwards, but it is perfection. Eonesco's "Rhinoceros" is not great but worth a look. Same for Genet's "The Maids". Ahhhhhh....remember when theatre and dance and opera were considered worthwhile in America, not luxuries? The good old days.... _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
