^ Edith Ann... love it!

I suggested Abigail Breslin because I think the right kid would actually be funny in the part.

Is the character of Little Sally actually supposed to be old? I thought that they were making fun of the convention of having little kids banter with adults, and decided to use an adult so that it was just easier to manage. I think it would definitely work better on film having a younger person play Sally, especially since a bunch of the stuff she says is very adult.

PiraguaGuy - on stage, an older actress playing Little Sally works. IMO, on film, it'd have to be a young girl and the humor changes. At least that's what I would do if I were helming a film adaptation.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
