  • 1.  Wilder's "Skin of our Teeth" Language question

    Posted 08-06-2021 18:54
    If anyone is familiar with that script...  there are phrases in Greek and Hebrew,  are we supposed to present the Greek and Hebrew spoken out loud and project the English to read, or speak both or project the foreign languages and speak the English translations??  OR what?  I know Wilder was WILD about learning and speaking loads of languages, but I'mn not sure about his intent here.  [You're welcome for the dad pun]

    It's been decades since I've done this wonderful show, so I don't really recall what we did, but I'm confident it's "director's choice."
    Do what works for you.
