RE: hey, what's new in RATdom?

I guess what I'm asking is if the actors and directors who work on Wellman
find that, by in large, his scripts are brilliantly written phone books in
which they bring to life by sheer force of will or if the intention of the
playwright is clear once actors/directors dig in. 

Still,

Werner T. (the formerly known Chili blah, blah, blah)
