The Tony-award-winning play's Pulitzer-prize-winning story was split into two books, and each book became a major chapter in the mini-series. Those two chapters are each given their own disc in this upcoming DVD release: "Part 1: Millenium Approaches" and "Part 2: Perestroika."
Video will be widescreen 16x9. The soundtrack will be available in English 5.1 Dolby Surround, English 2.0 Stereo, or Spanish 2.0 Stereo. Subtitles are English, Spanish, and French, plus closed captioning.
Cover art and supplements haven't come through yet; we'll probably have those next week. Stay tuned!
