Re: Seattle RATS: come to the bonanza
Dear Printer's Devil-
Would love to hear more about the reading/workshop of
Given Fish. I think Melissa James Gibson is pretty
cool. How did the workshop go? How did the play read?
It's so complex I'm dying to know if any staging
solutions/inspirations were discussed. You can reply
off-list if you want.
Thanks!
