Well, I did start to think "ryhog intends this as a cumulative post, not a specific response to mine," but still it was puzzling since, as you say, my focus and your focus were rather different. Another thing to remember: It was by no means uncommon at one time, and may still happen sometimes, for a version of a script published in hardcover (or sometimes in paperback) to differ from the acting edition. Sometimes the differences were merely in terms of there being stage directions in the acting edition that were not in the edition meant for a more general readership, but also sometimes in dialogue and other elements.

very true. Also remember that no matter what script a producer approaches a licensing office about, the rights are going to be granted on the version the rightsholder wants performed. And also also understand that no Bway production contract is negotiated by the producer calling Samuel French, DPS or the like.
