Author's Comments: 1995

From Paula Smith:

This time, the author of the original book was in the play. It's not true that you've regretted it ever since, is it, Suzan? Also in the play, as in every production since the second one, was Pat Massie. Even more than Jody, Pat throws herself into a role, or several, if need be. She's one of the best all-round performers in fandom, for my money: actress, comedienne, poetry reader and humorist If she could only shoot, bribe and extort, she'd be a real Renaissance man. [1]
