Plays/Other: S - Z
All videos are in VOB unless otherwise noted. Most screenshots and comments are not my own: the dates that are underlined are the ones that I have taken (I only download the musicals/plays when I have time to patiently wait for my internet). Please cite my site if you take them. If you see your own screenshot here, email me and I will put your name up or take it down. As my internet connection is very weak, if you request screenshots please note that it will take about 3-4 hours after I read your email to provide screenshots to you.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
2 February 2012 (Chicago)
Tracy Letts, Amy Morton, Carrie Coon and Madison Dirks.
*Great capture of this PreBroadway production where it began in Chicago. A year and a half later this production with cast intact landed on Broadway. For the first act in wide shots two heads block the far sides. Mostly this is not an issue since zoomed in past them for midsize shots and most of the action is center stage
