RAT Re: obscurity

Okay, 
What am I missing here? What ever happened to if it ain't on the page it
ain't on the stage? I'm quite sincerely having trouble understanding what
possible difference it would make to have some passing (or lasting for
that matter) relationship with a playwright in understanding their work
better. During rehearsals, yes, of course. The run of the play, most
definitely. I don't have to know Terence McNally to better understand his
plays. I know them for the crap they are. I don't need to get to know Mac
Wellman to hear his voice. I think this approach is a cop out extreme.
The person is not the play.
