Censorship?!
Wed, 5 Sept 2001, 02:11 amPersonally I am 110% against censorship. If people don't want to see nudity, hear swearing etc then they should just not attend the shows/watch the tv programs/buy the music that contains the stuff they don't want to see/hear. Classifications are fine but why should we be forced to accept the censorship that is forced into our faces[rhetorical question]? Society should grow up and stop sheltering everybody. any comments?...
PS. Dont' think I'm an arse for saying these things if you are for censorship, just tell me your opinions please.

RE: Tampering with scripts

WHAT?!! I sincerely hope you're saying this in jest. There is no less importance in sticking to stage directions than there is in sticking to dialogue.
While there may be some benefit in altering either stage moves or lines in order to adapt to restrictive space or time periods, it should always be a last resort. It should always be kept in mind that the writer has specific intentions for each element included in the final draft.
If a group has the benefit of a resident writer, then by all means discuss proposed changes, but if the writer is not available for consultation, then for the sake of respect, give the script the benefit of the doubt!
If you don't immediately recognise the intention of the writer, then take the time to TRY to recognise it.
I'd hate to see a group disregard the stage directions of plays such as "Noises Off" without ruining the essence of the work.
