Trying to find 10-year-old program that aired once on TV

Post by the68monkey »

So here's the deal. In 1998, I happened to catch a broadcast of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night being performed Live at Lincoln Center on my public broadcasting station. Did I turn on the VCR and record it? Of course not. :roll: Ever since then, I've tried in vain to get my hands on a recording of this performance, all to no avail. I even wrote to Lincoln Center several years ago asking where I could purchase a copy, and their reply was that they do not record and sell their performances, hence the Live at Lincoln Center title. :evil:

So, do you lot have any suggestions for me on how I might find a copy of this? I don't even care if it's VHS. I just want a copy of this particular performance of Twelfth Night. I own various other productions on DVD, but have yet to see one that was as well done as director Nicholas Hytner's. The lead role of Viola was performed masterfully by Helen Hunt, with a supporting cast that included Paul Rudd as Duke Orsino and Kyra Sedgwick as Olivia.

edit: I've searched eBay and YouTube, but without any luck.

Have you contacted the network that aired it (might want to pose as a teacher)? You'll have no luck but if you want to explore all avenues...
It's annoying that so much good stuff gets broadcast once and then never again.

I didn't try the network, but went directly to Lincoln Center, instead. I guess I could give that a try, but I'm guessing they'll just direct me to Lincoln Center.

I think she got tired of our macho bullshit.

All the women in our lives leave her eventually.
