I always think of Douglas Adams when I go to a restaurant where they have live fish in glass tanks, waiting to be chosen and eaten.
It's not often a creative mind such his comes along. The unfinished/unstarted work doesn't bear thinking about.
Did he write much for the stage?

There's something fundamentally wrong with the universe or at least your email as the question is
"What is 7 times 8 ?"
I have the script at home somewhere if someone wants to consider a stage adaptation ?????????????????

Are you trying to outweird me?

But then, I never did forgive him for killing off Arthur D. I suppose he could just have invented yet another parallel universe, tho'...

Or people may want to get along to Vagabond Theatre's production of Dirk based on Adams' Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency opening in June:

Commiserations to Jo and company. Very unfortunate timing, but i'm sure the show will prove a fitting tribute.

Cheers

Quite correct,Don. Serves me right for not carrying my Guide at all times. At least I'll always have my... Hey, wait a minute, where's my towel...
