I have uploaded my entire collection of LA Theatre Works plays to ADrive.
A text list 
of the titles is attached below.
There are 240 290 over 300 plays in the collection, which represents about two-thirds three-quarters of the total output of LATW. If anyone has any of the other 50 or so plays, please post them.
Please note that this folder is about 43 GB.
I have not archived any of the plays, as I did not expect that anyone would want to download all of them. Of course, you're welcome to do so, if you have the time and the disk space :>)
The quality of the encodes varies somewhat, especially in the earliest elements of the collection, but the vast majority are at 128/44 stereo (or better). A special request: if anyone has Merry-Go-Round in a decent encode, that would be appreciated. FOUND IT - now uploaded.

Wow this is an amazing collection. Thanks
I have another batch that I'll upload as soon as I add tags and conform the names to my database
I am smiling and rubbing my hands together! Thanks!
More goodness Bob - many thanks.
I'd not listened to them til recently but I've gotta say LATW are superb.
It could be that I'd just not noticed til I started listening to them, but the recent batch of Arthur Miller biographical dramas on Radio 4 were joint BBC and LATW productions.
The BBC and LATW have been co-producing dramas for years.
Often, the BBC will take the production and shoe-horn it into a ninety minute slot by eliminating all the pre-show and post-show material and then sloughing off a scene or two.
In my collection, you'll see a few shows marked as "LATW" and aseparate file marked "BBC". Those are the "abridged" ones.
Seems that I haven't kept up the notices here ...
Four new additions since September .
David Hirson - La Bete
Ronald Harwood - Another Time
Abby Mann - Judgement at Nuremberg
Mikhail Bulgakov - The Master and Margarita
Only one new production this time:
Dear Elizabeth
Sarah Ruhl
2015
Dear Elizabeth: A Play in Letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and Back Again
The complicated relationship between the poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell is revealed in nearly thirty years’ worth of correspondence. Taken from their exchange of letters, Dear Elizabeth is a study in friendship, intimacy, and the power of words.
An L.A. Theatre Works full cast production featuring:
JoBeth Williams as Elizabeth Bishop
Julian Sands as Robert Lowell
Narration performed by Chris Hatfield.
Directed by Rosalind Ayres and recorded before an audience
I've been listening and loving these over the past couple of days Bob - The Norman Conquests especially deserves a mention. Doing them live, you get occasional laughs in things like Dracula and The Hound. The live audience really gives it something extra. Many many thanks :)
