| They did not use it in marketing (though Guirgus said it looked like a marketing item). Shelton put a big red warning stamp on the statement which made it look like it was supposed to be a joke. Also, the statement was added to the program stating why Giurigis' insert was wrong. The statement reads: “For me, a play is a living document that should transform from production to production. It is something the author bestows upon the public as a gift to be shared and theatre remains the greatest interpretive art the human race has developed. I say this because it is my fervent belief that as a director, an actor, a designer, a producer, a stage manager, a board operator, and an audience member, we are all taking the work of one artist and reinterpreting it into our own separate experiences. The play may not be what the author intended in his original vision, but as a work of art. I believe it is our duty to interpret and not simply repeat, to participate, not just transmit, and by doing so become a collaborators [sic] in the work.” |

| Thanks for that. I don't think that statement says Guirgis (not that it matters but spelled wrong by you twice, in two different ways) was wrong, but rather that the laws protecting him are. I also don't think Guirgis disagrees any more than I do. That said, I think we both disagree with breaking the law. All of that said, I think the huge flaw in the statement is at the very end: there was no collaboration here and that is all Guirgis is after. | |

| It took a day, but my memory bank finally unloaded the title of a book some friends gave me. Title is A Jesuit Off Broadway. James Martin S.J. got a phone call from Actor Sam Rockwell and playwright Adly Guirgis. He spent six months working with them, the cast, and director Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It's a very enjoyable book; It was published in 2007. | |
