Controversial Egg?

a tricky one for sure, however, i would guess that the feedback that you have had from teachers especially, does not identify 'small mindedness' but rather a cautious approach, which i would imagine teachers these days have to exercise. i am not a teacher myself but i do know those who are and it is often the case that their own opinions or tastes have to be compromised in order to appease the preferences of not necessarilly the students but more over the parents. i would imagine the material in this play would offed the morals of (in particular) schools of a religious persuasion whose beliefs contradict those expressed in the play. it is very easy to dismiss the reaction as samll mindedness when you dont have to consider anyone elses sensebilities but your own, however, they are just responding to the information you have given them, as am i...i just think people jump on the anti pc wagon a little too quickly without considering the context. i think the majority who took that opinion had claimed not to have read the play...therefore they hardly offer intelligent offerings, more just sound bites in response to you considering editing, and they as 'playwrights see that as artisitic butchering (rightly so), although i have to admit i have never read or seen their workings being performed. im afraid that you have decided to produce a play without the necessary research, in that your target audience has turned its back on you. harsh lesson but proof im sure, that it so important to canvas what audience need especially when it is directed at schools and those in education. any way good luck. Is that all there is, if so can we all stop dancing (or something equally as pointless and wacky!)
