A companion piece to The Rivals was Classic Theatre Preview, in which Jeremy discussed the last tempestuous days of the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan during an interview at Sheridan's last home in London's famous Saville Row. Joan Wilson conducted the interview. Jeremy tells the story that about 4 minutes of it was used on the air, but they talked for more than two hours. They received the outtakes as a wedding present! |
