Are you talking Alice B Toklas brownies and I'm talking corned beef?

Do she have a cookbook out?

DR elmore - So all this somewhat witty, innuendo-laced repartee begs the question:

Which one of us is the straight man of the team?

And on that note - a very low A-flat - I'm outta here...

I'm gonna head over to my brother's house to give him his Father's Day card, and spend some time with my niece and nephew too.

Theatre[/u][/i]. It always was, it always is and it always will be, at least for me. And the distinction that one is a physical space (er) and the other is the amorphous thing (re) means little to me. I worked in many different theatres and I worked in the business of theatre (also the business of show). As it was, so shall it be.

I now stand off from my soapbox.

Ben, I'm with you!

Jose, stage directions in a script are never credited to the director.  The published play is the work of the author.  There was a big flap over this I remember a few years back where stage directors were trying to copyright or at least get credit for their blocking...and I think this spilled over into the area of what exactly was published in the script.  The Dramatist Guild would have nothing to do with anything that infringed on the their published work and I think also saw it as an attempt by directors to usurp and confuse authorship.  Thankfully, the Dramatist Guild is very strong and they would have none of the auteur shit that directors come up with in film.  I can remember what happened by I don't think they were allowed to copyright blocking ideas either.  I could be wrong.

I'll jump in here for a second, too.  I think this is a recent development, DRCharlesPogue; it's my memory that most of the Dramatists Play Service and Samuel French scripts up until 1980 were based on the stage manager's copy with properties, business, etc. all based on the original production.  This may explain the discrepancies between the "acting editions" and the author's text published by someone representing the playwright.   The Samuel French edition of Orton's WHAT THE BUTLER SAW is the rewrite for the McAlpin Rooftop Theatre in New York, after Orton's death; the original text is published by Methuen in England and Grove Press in the US.

The American adaptor of the Orton script has never, to my knowledge, been identified.  The differences between THE GLASS MENAGERIE text by Dramatists Play Service and the official Tennessee Williams edition by New Directions are interesting.  Also, when I was in Pinter's THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, the American text from Samuel French (?) was missing several lines that our director put back from the Grove Press edition.

The one playwright I can think of whose original stage directions are foolproof, because his plays are constructed like a Rube Goldberg machine, is Georges Feydeau.

Dialogue and monologue, no question.  I must admit, however, that I do go with the convention of "theater" for the space and "theatre" for the art form.
