INFERIOR?  Uh, and by whom are they branded Inferior?  By whom?  I'm not 
really asking a question here.  I'm being 100% sarcastic.  INFERIOR, hey? 
The fact is, his plays have never BEEN done that way  - the way I said. 
Somehow or other, they manage to muck it all up by changing the damned plot 
and action.

I don't want to read it (again),  Bob.  I want to WATCH it.  Big difference 
there.  Some people, especially innately analytical readers, have a very 
hard time "picturing" when they read a text.  I have a hard time.  I can 
read about 3 big (how big? compared to what?) ships going to some island. 
Fine.  I can't SEE 3 big ships going to an island.  I can't SEE the island, 
either.  What I am asking for is very very simple.
