Listen to this production here:

UNFORTUNATELY, the recording suffers from audio interference which affects it on multiple occasions throughout the performance. Sadly, this cannot be corrected but as this is the only known extant copy of this production, it is included for the sake of completeness. We’d love to hear from anybody who may have a better quality recording.
