I did this show years ago with no problems. Are there any issues you are especially concerned with? The only issue I spent time on was with the gun, but I had Christine take the gun offstage to commit suicide, which makes sense and was probably even suggested in the script. (I used a starter gun, I think...but you can also just use a non functioning prop gun that looks realistic and then create the sound effect with a couple blocks of wood offstage -- which is what we did when we traveled to the Fringe to perform and didn't want to deal with customs and prop guns).

Has anyone produced Maxwell Anderson's Bad Seed at the high school level? Were there any issues with the subject matter? How did you get through them? I'm looking at this play as our Fall Production, but I want to go into administration armed with information on how to get around any issues that may come up. Thanks!
