September 29[edit]

Meryl Streep one-woman Alice in Wonderland[edit]

Hello. I'd asked about this in 2015 as well as today at the Meryl Streep page, and today it was suggested I come here (Talk:Meryl Streep/Archive 1#One-woman Alice performance). This one-women Alice in Wonderland by Meryl Streep was one of the best performances I've ever seen (saw it once on PBS long ago, and when researching it was told by PBS that it was her college thesis performance but that the station I checked with had no copy). Anyone know of where to access? Thanks! Randy Kryn (talk) 16:53, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One thought. Aren't most thesis kept on file at the University where they were submitted? You could contact the Yale School of Drama in hopes that they have it somewhere. MarnetteD|Talk 17:32, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Good plan, haven't done that. Maybe someone here will have a copy and just load it up on youtube or somewhere. I saw it before internet became a thing, but even after it become a thing it didn't help (until now?). Randy Kryn (talk) 17:41, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As of November 12th, 2012 it existed on YouTube [1]. I doubt this is helpful, but it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-Suk8LzxLs "This video isn't available anymore." 136.56.52.157 (talk) 17:47, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. So...somebody has it. But your link says this was multiple cast, this one was just her (but your find sounds really good too). Randy Kryn (talk) 17:52, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The version with multiple cast is Alice at the Palace (IMDb). I can't be sure, but the article above, in context, suggests the YT video is (or relates to) Alice in Concert. 136.56.52.157 (talk) 18:23, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Randy Kryn "Load it up on YouTube or somewhere... " Would that be legal from a copyright standpoint? Would Meryl Streep be happy or unhappy? Are you morally OK with wishing someone will upload it for your entertainment, without knowing her thoughts? Just checking... David10244 (talk) 05:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
