Does anyone know exactly what relationship, if any, Aria Ley-Piscator had
with Erwin Piscator? She's written a book about Piscator's exile in
America called "The Piscator Experiment", but never really says if she was
married to him, or if she's his daughter or other.

If anyone knows, or can help me find out, I would be most thankful. The
information is needed for my Graduate thesis, which is due at the end of
the month.

Thanks

Scot

Thanks for the help.

I was quite confused, not understanding the difference between Maria and
Aria. With a little more sluthing, thanks to your tip, I discovered that
the author's name had simply been cut off by the printer when he rebound
the book. That is to say, the "M" of Maria saw the knife, leaving simply
"ARIA" in caps. I assumed she was a different somebody that the Maria
Piscator I read about elsewhere.

The answer wasn't as difficult, or as academic", as it first seemed.

Thanks again,

Scot

Does anyone know who has the rights to this show? It's a one-man
show about Nixon's last days in the White House. I've been looking for
it for a while with no luck. Maybe there is a database on the web
someone could point me to? I just "found" this group, so my apologies
in advance about not knowing any info on a database.

Thanks,

Andy

I think the play was published in one of TCG's *New Plays* series books.
As is often recommended here, a call to the Drama Book Store or Applause
Theater Books in NYC could probably help you find the script.
