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 and such 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 which have ceased or failed in
some way. My new index offers the opportunity to keep them going.
