my notes
One of the great things about the NTlive series is to be confronted with a new play and unexpected performances seemingly out of nowhere. For many such as myself the experience is only available from screen cappers such as the original uploader of Skylight. I have added an act break and separated out the interview to enhance the experience of the play.
This original edit is from a much larger source file which, like many from that series, is no longer running in torrent indexes that have ceased or failed in some way. My new index offers the opportunity to keep them going.
