Re: Rant about Rent
ever see "the Norman Conquests" (series of 4 plays, central character Norman having multiple affairs, all takes place in one house on one weekend, but each play is a different room in the house)? I thought it was hilarious and very well done by a small troop in Toronto (several many years ago).

Re: Rant about book derivations
then I won't rush out to buy the book
​
that does show one of the critical differences between plays movies and books - the amount of time that can be devoted to the plot and characters.
​
movies and plays derived from books always have to make compromises on what to exclude.
​
so what you usually end up with is a {short story version} of the book.
​
books derived from plays or movies (or radio shows) can add material
​
so that a good play was developed from a boring book only means the book should have been a short story ... in the first place
​
imao.
