There should be a definite difference — the audience should always be able to tell — between the lines written for this play, and when the characters speak the lines from the Bible. In the script, lines from the Bible are in boldface type. However, I'm too drunk to figure out what the difference should be in performance, so the director can figure that out. Go nuts.

I’m afraid that I’ve made the play hard to do right — "right" requiring to get all of the nuances and philosophical musings across, and still getting laughs. If you have to sacrifice one or the other — I'd keep the laughs and then advise the audience to go to church at the end.

The play is filled with pop-culture references. If these are "not hip anymore," or (more likely) just "not very funny in the first place," the director may insert whatever appropriate revisions he or she wishes, to best play to the audience.

So now I’ve written the play on my Macintosh and printed it out. My work is done. If you, the director and performers need to cut stuff, rearrange it or whatever (although hopefully not too much), go do it. You’re the poor suckers who have to perform it, and if I’ve written something you don’t feel comfortable doing or saying, work around it. When all is said and done, acting is about actors, and their directors.

So take this and make it work. I owe ya one.
