Thanks for the upload but...

I was listening with great pleasure to The Madwoman of Chaillot only to sit with mouth agape as the last ten minutes of the program wavered in and out of radio signal. Aughhh! Does anybody else have this play in it's entirety? These shows are priceless and need to be preserved better.

Wonderful stuff, but...

I second the other reviewer. Madwoman is so perfect until that last ten minutes, and I was ready to weep. Does anyone have a better copy? Thanks to the poster for this treasure trove of great performances. I can't believe they got Elliot Nugent for Voice of the Turtle!
