RAT new playwrights

[brad rothbart <scrdchao@nni.com>]

Allison,

I sent you an email awile ago- concerning new playwrights, never recieved a
response...
 What's up? Are you just swamped?

I'm reposting it for yuou just in case you missed it in a flood of messages.
Also, you mentioned awhile back that Stanford University was doing
Bio-Mechanics... I  was trained in that myself, and  although my body won't
let me do it anymore, if you need a teacher- just get me the drawings and
I'll teach.

I taught an impromptu workshop to  Ex Machina  (  Robert  Lepage's company
in Quebec City) in feb'98.

Mitchell, Allison,

I am doing some informal lit manager stuff for a RAT theatre in
Philadelphia called Theatre Double. It's all very nascent,  so I'll ask you
to keep it under your metaphoric hat for the time being.

I want your opinions.. What RAT -type playwrights are terribly
underproduced? Who would you like to do but can't fit in your season? Who
rocks your world right now?

So you know- My list is: Ruth Margraff, Shelley Berc, Chris Jeffries, Lisa
L'Amour,  and Jeff Jones.  I've heard good things about Paul Mullins, Sarah
Kane and  David Hancock.

I'm not taking this to the list for two reasons:A)  My relationship with
Theatre Double is new, advisory and fragile, and B) I don't want to be
swamped right now. I'd just like  ideas from people whose judgement I trust
implicitly.  A version of this letter has gone out to Megan Monaghan.

However, if there are people who you think would be good resources, or who
you trust implicitly, please feel free to forward.



Yours in production choices,

Brad
