Sondheim by Sondheim...
It would be a mystery or a puzzle or have some very curious, game-like twist to it.

sally1112, I love EAP! That would be a darkly interesting one
All I have to say to you, Kalimba and TDH is...WHY, then, are you reading my post at all...???!!!
As long as people enjoy my posts, and comment on them, I see no good reason why I should validate your comments.
...at least I am not rude and demeaning to other posters, and try to bring some positive (AND intelligent, as opposed to what you imply), hopefully fun input to this board.
Obviously, Kalimba, you have NO clue as to how ideas are propagated and eventually, possibly, brought to life. I love Broadway, and most things I post about are meant to enhance my knowledge, as well as that of others, about the GWW, by bouncing ideas and info. Oh, well...=/

Sally, you said Edgar Alan Poe.
Last year, I attended a performence at the Asolo Rep (Sarasota), called *Murder by Poe*. It was done entirely by students from FSU, and it surprised me how well acted and done it was.
It was based on a collection of Poe's work, but it incorporated some of the author's own life events in it (he was one of the characters living through the stories. Actually he was the host). I think you would have enjoyed it!
Check out this link to the play:
