Collaborative audio-play of Wilde's "Importance of Being Earnest"

Kara sez, "LibriVox.org enlists volunteers to create free, public-domain audiobooks in mp3 format. In a departure from straight audiobooks, we've just finished our first play, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, and we're very excited about it! Volunteer cast members from all over the world recorded their lines individually. The recordings were then spliced together to produce the play. As always, our recordings are free to download, copy, and share." Link (Thanks, Kara!)

Update: Kip sez, "Here's an hourlong radio version by the Theatre Guild, available as a free download sample ('The first one's free!') at OTRcat.com (Old Time Radio Catalog, presumably)."
