Rights (and Rewrites)

Week 1 - 440 days until opening night

Looks like, as of this morning, all the rights for Mack and Mabel are now in place which is good news, with the stipulation that we have to use the revised 2007 script by Francine Pascal.

An updated script is good news, actually. Funnily enough I was just reading about this only last week. The original script has always been acknowledged as having a few problems - in particular a weak ending - it all stops rather quickly, and on a bit of a downer (which is what happened in real life), but apparently the newer script addresses these problems and is much better.

Georgina, Pete and myself are off to Frome on Saturday to see an amateur version of the show,  so I'll be interested to see what they've done with the script.

Where the hell is Frome, anyways? **sound of google maps being accessed** Ah - near Bath.
