Abstract
Some kind of digest of potentially-producible plays is becoming more and more necessary in our theatre. It takes time to read a play properly and time is something that most artistic directors have to ration very carefully. Very few theatres are able to employ a dramaturge (those that can are either very large organizations or smaller companies exclusively committ ed to the production of new works and as a result, scripts can very easily pile up, uncared for and unread - not out of malice but simply because there is no time. Among these scripts may be plays that are right for a particular company of actors and a particular audience. Every director in this country has at one time or another failed to recognize an actor’s talent in an audition; in the same way every director has missed a good play that has arrived unsolicited on his desk.
