"Oh look at the time, three more intelligent plays just closed and THE ADDAMS FAMILY made another million dollars" -Jackie Hoffman, Broadway.com Audience Awards
I just have a hard time believing it will happen, with the writer's reputation (and life) essentially "blacklisted" forever. I know the writer's imprisonment shouldnt have an impact but I have to believe it could have some type of affect.
I thought he got in trouble for stealing money from a well known production studio. I don't remember the details and was unaware if he actually went to prison.
His name was, at one point, was in the Los Angeles Sheriff's Dept. database and I have additionally heard stories about him laundering employer's money out of the movie studio (for his own personal use).
Maybe it was all cleared up and settled - that's why I asked!
IF this production happens, it would be a big favor to everyone because finally people would realize that Bare, while sort of good, isn't good enough. Book trouble with characters that are sort of stock and dull.
Same goes for these readings this season of Carrie (patently ridiculous) and Anyone Can Whistle (book trouble).
