oh look, paws is on the hunt for HBC content again
I was going to just throw this in Looking For, but I was hoping to sort of incite a discussion by asking about this, I guess. Recently this play from 1915 has been brought to my attention from ye olde Tarot of Sneezing's Movies and TV list, in which it's stated that:
This is an old play (circa 1900?)by the extraordinarily named Arthur Wing Pinero. It's often revived in stage productions and features a great scene where the rebellious heroine o/d's on snuff and sneezes uncontrollably. (and loudly which "ladies" just didn't do in those days !).I saw a version of a stage production on tv a few years back which featured (I think) Helena Bonham Carter as the snuff snorter par excellance and it was great
Seeing as this was on a televised broadcast, I adamantly refuse to believe that it's been lost to the sands of time, despite what the rest of the Internet is making me think. From what I can understand, this production starred Sarah Brightman in addition to HBC, and it was produced in either 1992 1993 -- perhaps filmed the same year as well.
This truly does feel like a cry of desperation, but if anyone has supplementary info it would be most appreciated!!
