Hi Rolande

In response to your query, I presented 'The Tempest' at 
Stratford-upon-Avon in 1964 for the anniversary celebrations of 
William Shakespeare.  The version I presented was whittled down to 45 
mins in length by a Shakepearian historian retaining all the story 
and major speeches.
The script recorded at the Central School of Dramatic Art in London.  
I presented it four times daily for two weeks at an exhibition.  I 
subsequently presented it as part of a two hour show with a final 
performance at the Arts Theatre Cambridge in 1966.
I don't recall any production of the 'Comedy of Errors'.
