ABSTRACT
People in the theater tend to lament the evanescence of our craft, as performances and productions come and go like bubbles on a stream. Sometimes, however, this very transience gives us an opportunity we might not find elsewhere. Books and films, for example, once they are published or produced are pretty much frozen for eternity, with all their virtues and flaws permanently in place. A play, on the other hand, can be rewritten and reworked after its initial production, in many cases to its considerable improvement.
