Stanford is doing a great deal of work in this area and a demo of what they had done for teaching drama was given at UCSD. They first showed a videotape of the original IBM system they had, then the HyperCard version using a Pioneer 6000 LaserDisk. The application presented four main analytical areas of drama, and used several scenes from Shakespeare's MacBeth to illustrate the points being made. One of the best parts was that they had two versions of the play on the videodisk: the classic Oliviet and also a Russian version. This provided, in itself, marvelous comparison.
