After posting that too hastily, I remembered too that she has a new play on next year with the MTC and wondered if it was a co-production. Not that it's really relevant what's programmed; the point is that lots of playwrights are not programmed by major companies, and it needn't mean that they're "snubbed". That was always a beatup. And I guess I wondered why I had to be mentioned at all, especially in terms of "battle-lines". Thanks Jane.

And you are aware that I gave that one a very positive review? Perhaps Sydney isn't quite so oblivious to Melbourne's "fits" ...and perhaps those battlelines aren't quite so clearly drawn.
