I'm helping direct a play
The play was written by one of our cast members
Or so I thought
It's being performed on Wednesday
Today, the writer of the play, who holds copyright to the play, is wondering why we're performing her play without paying her royalties
I'm a bit scared.

ouch...
The fault lies with the cast member who claims it was theirs then shirley?
( elusive I'm not really here. You're imagining me, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 0:04, archived)

explain the situation
ask her permission. See what arrangement can be reached.
( mr horrible up yours, dickface, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 0:04, archived)

so don't perform the play.
sorted.

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 0:06, archived)

You'll have to give a chunk as royalties, or cancel the show.

Yeah, just offer her some of the money
and a couple of tickets
( Malaka omdz, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 0:09, archived)

probably this
just try and explain the situation and get some sort of deal that's reasonable.

wost case scenario, you'll have to cancel the play.

where did you get the script from?
first thing to do is to see what sort of royalties the author is seeking.

aye this!
and sack the wanker who led you to think he wrote it
( executiverocker only wears C&A, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 0:06, archived)

quite.

she
But it's turned out that she was involved in the writing process.
(__, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 0:07, archived)

Have you told her about the claimant?
Bitch fight ahoy.
( Jenk Neptune is a pedant and now I can't fit my sig in, Mon 10 Mar 2008, 0:09, archived)

well then you all need to get together
and communicate

from where i see it
it seems like the writer has decided against that and has gone straight to the lawyers.
women, vagina, sand etc.
good luck sorting it all out friz. i was threatened by solicitors a few days ago too, its not at all fun.

Looks like you need to start shouting at a cast member.
So no play this week then, you still never gaz'd me about it either.
