The idea that a piece of literature can be edited to be suitable for all audiences and retain its intended purpose is ludicrous. Mr. Cahill has writing experience under his belt, and as an accomplished performer may have more insight than others into what is being communicated… but only the playwright, who has spent years putting these words together in this particular way has any business making edits.

As an actor and a former resident of La Grande (and student of Mr. Cahill’s who had the privilege of performing with him in while attending EOU), this issue has been reinforcing for me so many of the reasons that I, and many like me have left and continue to do so.
