Has anyone ever seen a live version (stage play) of The Man Who Was Thursday?

What was it like? Was it the Ada Chesterton-written play?

  1. I did once, in Seattle about five years ago. I don't know if it was the one Ada Chesterton wrote or not. It was quite enjoyable, presented in a minimalist fashion--the key to fantasy on the stage, I think, is not to try to ape reality but to act well enough that the audience can enter into the imagination.

  2. Lucky!
    One of the things I am looking forward to with great anticipation at ChesterCon07 is the performance of TMWWT live on Friday night.

  3. Four years ago my high school staged it (The Man who was Thursday); however I didn’t see it. From what my peers told me it was like “Indian Jones on drugs.”

  4. Hmmm. Indiana Jones on drugs...I wonder what that was like? But cool that a high school staged it, all the same.

  5. St. Gregory's Academy in Scranton, Pa., a high school, also staged it a year or so ago. The script adaptation was written by a teacher there -- the guy who illustrated the cover of your Blue Cross Study Guide, Nancy. :-)

  6. BTW Indiana Jones would be much improved if he was on drugs.
