Great Performances: Anything Goes (1974)
Season 49, Episode 27
10/10
I still remember even if no one else does

Warning: Spoilers
I saw this on PBS back in the seventies and remembered being very moved. I tried to find a copy of the play without success. I have never met or talked to anyone who has any knowledge of this play. It seems to have been a videotaped offering shot in the style of a live play. I still remember a line from it. Spoken by Theo as he contemplates taking his life, " I am more afraid of death than I am incompetent at life". Words to live by. A line was drawn between the character's life and his performance as the lead role in RICHARD II. Spoiler As you would expect, the play doesn't end happily. If your doppelganger is Richard II a tragic ending is almost impossible to avoid.
