Back from a very long meeting about the very long script. Now I know why the script is so long - its author talks a LOT. Very nice chap. I didn't really want to get into specifics, but I did make one suggestion about moving a number to the opening of act two, and he LOVED that. In fact, right after that, he asked if I'd join the team and direct the staged reading - I hope it's not a decision I come to regret, but I said yes, mostly as a favor to the composer and lyricist, who are friends of mine.
