Here, the ending has been redone to make it more stageable, but in the process it has become not very memorable and a little incoherent to boot. |
Even if I did manage to finish a play, it is unlikely it would be stageable. |
It used to be said that no actor ever succeeded as Macbeth and that it was more a brilliant poem than a stageable play. |
It sometimes seems we want our playwrights to have exited the womb waving an immediately stageable first draft. |
I cannot imagine a successful staging of a piece with so much instrumental music and that has very little stageable drama to it. |
I only wish that more theatres were as adventurous as these three and reexamined plays that may not be knockout masterpieces, but are eminently stageable. |
