Even after telling the cast that saying the lines AS WRITTEN/WORD PERFECT is going to be expected of them…they then never say another word about it and lines become a somewhat close proximity to what 5he playwright wrote. Disrespectful to the playwright…lines don’t flow as well or have the rhythm originally intended…disrespectful to cast members listening for expected cues…just plain lazy.
