| The committee didn’t state it was a revival. And it’s a new translation. It should be a revival as a “classic”. | |

| And the fact that you don't (or pretend not to) know the difference between a translation of a 150-year-old play and the first Broadway production of a fairly recent play does point to the absurdity of most of this thread. | |

| Again, they don't NEED to state it's a revival, because there have been plenty of productions of A Doll's House on Broadway. And in fact, they WON'T say that it's a revival, because that's what it is by default, and they don't address anything where the "by default" eligibility is what they decide goes. They only address when something deviates from the "by default" (aka, "consistent with the opening night credits") - like when someone above the title should be considered Featured, or when someone below the title should be Lead. Take a look at this season's A Christmas Carol. That's a piece that has been on Broadway before, so the "default" position there would be that it's a Revival. If it wasn't addressed in their announcement, that's where it would be eligible. However, the TAC decided (rightly so, to my mind) that this adaptation (mostly one-person show, etc.) was significantly different enough to consider it as being a new play. (The same decision was made with the version that was on Broadway in December 2019, in fact). So therefore, you see the explicit mention that it's a New Play in the Feb 1 announcement. |
