I can't understand why anyone uses the Blitzstein translation anymore. It it a royalty consideration? I'm not fond of the Willett one used in the Public production either. The only translation I've seen/heard/read that I thought really works now, at least for productions going for contemporary brashness and sleaze, is Jeremy Sams' used in the '94 Donmar production.
