Edward Albee's The Goat or Who is Sylvia?: Albee hasn't lost an iota of vitality

2008-08-12T14:09:43.0005Z

Edward Albee is far and away the finest, most painfully penetrating playwright in America over the past century. And I wholeheartedly believe that his best work may well be ahead of us.

To the doubters, examine "The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?"... examine the snappy prose, the absorbing plotline, and the earth-shattering thematics that challenge the most hardened, "educated" theatre-student mine.... examine those, and marvel that at the man's vitality, which packs the same disorienting punch that the "Zoo Story" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" provided so many moons ago.

Shadowlands: Split BBC movie from play

2008-06-13T20:51:36.0005Z

This is currently about both the 1985 BBC TV movie and the subsequent play, though the 1993 theatrical release is distinct. The play and the TV movie should be split apart.

Theater: Add "theatre" aliases

2008-06-11T19:55:31.0019Z

Please can we add aliases using the British spelling "theatre"? I was trying to type something as "theatre company" and started to think that there was no such type, but of course it was "theatER company".

Play: I think plays should have something like 'Subjects'

2008-05-15T19:15:15.0007Z

The type "Written Work" has a property "Subjects", so I'd suggest that "Written Work" be added as an Included Type of "Play". I'm surprised it isn't already.

Plays should probably be co-typed as written works to get the subject property. Actually, I had originally intended to refactor them into written work when we refactored the publishing domain, but I seem to have omitted it.

An example is "Alma" which is based on a famous Austrian woman Alma Mahler-Werfel and would could have as a subjects:

Biography, Alma Mahler-Werfel, Sanitorium ?

1776: Should be split...

Into a Film and a Broadway musical play.

Theater Character: Add Fictional Character as an included type

2008-04-24T23:13:38.0007Z

That would seem to make sense, yes. Consider it done.

Theater Character: Add Fictional Character as an included type

Shouldn't Fictional Character be an included type of Theater Character?

Film: Why delete?

2008-04-21T16:46:23.0005Z

I don't know why this is marked for delete, but I think it shouldn't be. Does anyone have a reason why this should be deleted?

Alan Jay Lerner: Still marked for deletion?

2008-03-24T16:44:41.0005Z

I don't think this topic should be deleted, unless someone can post a valid reason for it.

Alan Jay Lerner: Delete this topic?

2008-03-19T20:56:04.0005Z

Merge, don't delete.

Picasso at the Lapin Agile: De-typed as film

2008-03-07T20:02:27.0012Z

There was film data attached to this, which I removed. First, this isn't the topic if there were a film. Second, there appears to be no film on record for this work -- not at IMDB or any other source.

Zac Efron: Merge - duplicates

2007-11-21T22:36:03.0012Z

Please merge this "High School Musical" star with the other Zac Efron whose only song in Freebase is also from "High School Musical".

By Jeeves: Merge...

2007-11-10T00:30:05.0012Z

This topic's article, which lacks Wikipedia attribution, seems nonetheless to be copied from the same Wiki source as the "By Jeeves" play. Please merge if both have value.
