How could you have forgotten "Requiem for a Nun," which ran on Broadway in the winter of '59? Faulkner adapted it from his own novel.

Like you, I too abhor any discussion that strays even a scintilla from the topic of Broadway, but this time, it's decidedly on topic.

Keep the discussion to Broadway, folks, the more our minds are preoccupied by The Entertainment Industrial Complex, the better.
