I know you want it to be thus, but it just isn't.
The BPP scripts are separately purchased (with a discount for bundling). There have been single part productions around the country (and probably world) as well as productions with different casts for the parts. Moreover, there have been plenty of unbundled productions including, as I recall, the one you refer to above, at Signature. (I recall this specifically because I went back to see one part with the original cast and the 2nd part with the replacements. I don't recall about the Broadway revival [for which I did not have to buy the tickets]). We used to see a lot of one acts bundled but that doesn't make them the same play, nor does the way the author thinks about them. Famously, some playwrights spent most of their lives rewriting the same play. :-) )
Having said all this, I really don't think it matters nor is it worth all of the sturm und drang. |
