Just got through Frozen and enjoyed it a lot. Very poetic, in style and format. Interested in thinking how it could be staged and performed based on how it was written on the page.

Also, recently read The Death of Dr. Browne by Tony Kushner and I LOVED it. All the characters were so well rounded and varied, akin to Angels. Kushner's a god!

Which plays do you guys think work better on paper than on stage, and vice versa?

Death of a Salesman. I know most people probably disagree, but I think the narrative arc and structure works better on the page than onstage.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!
