two older era authors who did write their stage directions were James Barrie and GB Shaw. Indeed, Barrie's stage directions are almost as much fun as his plays
And where today's authors may be careful to insist on the gender of the actor playing a role, or a specific setting for their play (Beckett for sure) I've never heard of a case of someone being sued for not following stage directions -- in fact a theater in Connecticut is being sued now for essentially lifting a production, sets, costumes AND blocking from Hartford Stage. If I do a show in 3/4 thrust or in the round, how do I follow stage directions?
