Lincoln Center's Cymbeline Cut#1

Does anyone know where I could find a copy of their cut? I'm thinking of directing a production of it. Also did anyone who saw the production have any opinions about the cut? Or was it mentioned in any reviews?

Thanks in advace, NBT.

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

Whatever they cut, they needed to cut more.

That performance went on about an hour too long. I fought to stay awake.

I know that's not very helpful, but maybe it is.

I'm no scholar of the play and don't remember much about the cut, but I thought that this was one of the more underrated Broadway productions of the year. I found it magical.

I can't recall them off hand... But the cuts flowed nicely and nothing shocking was cut out. I had studied Cymbeline in a Shakespeare class before i saw it.

I agree with those who thought it was underrated... it was a breath taking production.

Michael Yeargan should have been nominated for his scenic design for this revival. The production value was fantastic.
