Fascinating New York Times feature on directors taking notes in preivews

Thanks for sharing... they got some pretty dry, technical pages (not surprisingly, given what they'd be comfortable sharing) but it's still fantastic to be reminded the level of detail paid to these productions in rehearsals.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
