Did this script have any development?

That's the pertinent question. The last couple have arrived on B'way seemingly with only a few table reads, no traditional shake-down with a company and director and even a workshop-like climate with invited audiences. It's a question here, but a valid one. Plays are shaped, built, honed, reshaped rather than emerge intact from the computer. It's strange to imagine any play arriving in a full production with a star and first tier director attached without prior development.
