[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is pedantic, and I truly do not mean to sound nasty (although tone is of course difficult to convey online), however: Steel Magnolias is a play. Every version of it is going to be "the same."[/quote] If that were the case, there would be no point in restaging any play. A play is not "the same" just because it has the same script. Different case, different direction, different milieu, different context, different thrust.[/quote] Agreed. Even Shakespeare is often updated to different eras. That kind of thing actually shows the timelessness and brilliance of the original, actually.[/quote] Exactly. I saw a performance of King Lear at the Shakespeare costumed and staged in the 1940s. It was brilliant. So PP, you weren't pedantic. Just wrong. [/quote]
