HaHaaa! Yes! Thank you, Andre!

"a DVD is planned for later this year, and I have been approached about a Broadway version." Not sure which of these things to be more happy about.

"The actors were briefed by Meyer before every scene, in solemn tones. Chuck Napier told me one day, "You wrote this, Roger. It reads like a comedy to me. But, hell, Russ treats it like Eugene O'Neill. He's lecturing us on character motivation and symbolism and deep meanings." Russ knew it was a comedy, but never admitted that to the actors: "No actor can be funny by trying to be funny," he told me."

True genius.
