I've never met a playwright saint. Of course I know much more about god
than I do Theater. But Megan, you're at the Playwrights Center, so please
name names. And don't start with Erik Ehn. His Saint Plays cause theater
but not miracles. The bane of his existence, I'm sure.
And even if I were to give you the First Folio of the Rain Dance, what a
worthless piece of nothing that would be.
So too the Rat Conference only when the author(s) disappear. Philadelphia
as host but not AUTHORity.
Guest and host share the etymon with stranger and enemy. Saintly RAT would
perform similar miracle.

Important derivatives are: guest, hostile, hospital, host1, hostage.
Stranger, guest, host; properly "someone with whom one has reciprocal
duties of hospitality."
