[It's not a bug, it's a feature.]

   Here's a topic for you:  how about a list of the most difficult plays with
regard to props.  The reason that I bring this up is that we're doing "You
Can't Take it With You" and I'm trying to get somebody to lend us a xylophone!

My two nominations are:

1.) "You Can't Take it With You" by Kaufman and Hart.  A xylophone, printing
press, snakes, Meccano set, fireworks, etc.

2.) "Deathtrap" by Ira Levin.  A crossbow, trick handcuffs, a pistol-axe(!), a
double-desk, etc.

Mail nominations to me at udenva!showard or post them.  I'll post a summary of
replies.  Hope this hasn't been done too recently!

--Steve Howard, a.k.a. Mr. Blore (bonus points for guessing which character
I played in "Ten Little Indians" :-))
