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'. ?
