That's an interesting piece of information. Peter Sellars recently directed a chamber version of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at the Stratford Festival that was quite well-received. I'm assuming he still does a lot of opera? My gut feeling is that McNally feels that some directors will screw with and ruin his vision as a writer by making it their own. I agree that it happens with great plays by masters, but I can only imagine that the work of Sellars or his ilk might make McNally's pieces more interesting as theatre.
