JesterSomething Wicked This Way Comes Stage Play
I know by reading reviews online that Mr. Bradbury had made a stage play version of the SWTWC book, but I do not know where I can get a copy and possibly discuss rights of use for my theatre troupe here in Washington DC. Does anyone here have any answers for me? (I hope

)
Thanks in advance...

philnicI'm pretty sure the script hasn't been published (most of Ray's plays are available from Dramatic Publishing:
http://www.dramaticpublishing.com/TitlesByAuthorCat.cfm?titlelink=9094&author=Bradbury,%20Ray - but they don't have this one listed.
You should probably contact Ray's agents:

philnicDo you mean that big one above, with the ferris wheel? It captures the novel perfectly!

That's the one to which I was referring. I also rather like the skull in the clouds.

philnicWell, of course. And the lightning is pretty neat, and the carousel blurring away there.

Doug SpauldingOh, it's a marvellous picture, and just in time for October, a rare month for boys (and girls)!

Doug SpauldingDust Witch rehearsing her moves...that's a great sentence.
I saw something not unlike a Dust Witch last night during a viewing of
Usher II. She moved out of the darkness to seize the baddie by the throat - frightening scene.
