| I saw the tv transmission of the NT staging and the second part is much improved from my memory of the Broadway production. In fact, I thought that there were not just cuts but a whole new scene. (I'd describe it now but it could be a spoiler.) At least, I didn't remember it. | |

| Which scene are you thinking of? The current script is actually the second revision of "Perestroika". Kushner made his first revision a few years after the Broadway production, and there are two different editions of the original published "Perestroika" with the Broadway-era art work. The first revision is published in the HBO tie-in edition that collected the two parts into a complete text (and was still in the version on sale in the UK as of 2015). |

| The combined version, but with original artwork -- new revision? | |

| I wanted to buy the double edition, but wondered if it's just the two (original) halves in one volume. Which I've had since they were first printed. Thanks to this thread, I want to read Perestroika again, with all changed done by Kushner. Glad I brought this up. I was truly in the dark about the changes. |

| You want the one published in 2013 with the words "revised and complete edition" on the cover. | |
