Chrysanthemum, I thought I was the only person who figured into the silliness of being afraid. Maybe I'll toss it in my bag and see what kind of mood he's in. Of all events at which to present it, maybe this is the one - it's not particularly wise to show him that after Chitty, I guess. It might take the happiness factor down... a lot of notches.
Feathah, I only speak for myself, obviously, but I'm afraid on two levels, I guess - the very superficial one of him thinking that it's weird, because you know, the guy didn't *write* the play. It would be more normal for me to ask him to sign the Playbill from the show, or something (which he did for me the night I saw it). But I guess the reason that both of us are afraid (Chrys, correct me if I'm wrong) is just the issue that's brought up by that play - I remember hearing him tell a friend of mine that it was THE most important thing he's ever done, and any time it comes up, it just feels like it's stil a sort of scarred, very touchy issue, because of what happened with the revival, and because of how important the play is to him. In interviews, it just gets glossed over - maybe a sentence or two will touch on it, and then they rush on. I'm not really afraid of offending him or something, but just of having to dig up something he'd rather keep on the backburner. I'm not sure how to explain it, because in truth it probably is a bit silly to think that, but maybe that makes some sense. I don't want to be responsible for making him upset, I guess.
I'm indecisive, so, I open poll: yay or nay?
