Subject: RE: BS: Literary project:Falstaff and the Mountebank
I initiated this project prior to seeing Chimes at Midnight and after reading Rosenbaum's "The Shakespeare Wars." I disagree with many of Welles' editorial choices but that is what art is about.

My intent was and is to create a version of the 'play within the plays' that could be staged coherently in a reasonable time frame. Including Falstaff's death, I have the spoken part of the play at 2 hours, 14 minutes as of the latest edit.

A local producer is getting a copy this afternoon.

If anyone wants to see the work in situ, PM me with your edress and I shall forward a copy.
