getting rights

Wed, 31 May 2006, 10:02 pm

Hi there, I am currently trying to find out some information about getting the rights to put on a show. The show is a musical theatrical adaptation of a film. It contains an original music score; however large amounts of dialogue and possibly the title are lifted from the original film. The director (and producer) is dead; and the film is American (if that makes any difference). The film would be put on with an extremely low budget - and would seek only performance rights. I am wondering if anyone can advise me as to whether or not gaining rights would be necessary - and if so how I might go about getting them. Any correspondance on this matter would be much appreciated. Best regards, Zoe.

Actually, late yesterday afternoon the very same thing happened to me. I came back to the site after a little break and notice far too many options in my left window. Then I noticed I was Craig. Making sure that all my bits were still there (particularly my hair) and that I didn't have any piercings in my ears, I quickly logged out and soon felt like my old self again.

I think the site is suffering from Craig Withdrawals. It was desperately seeking a replacement.
