Jennifer's Quadrophenia Play



For those of you who have not yet e-mailed Jennifer L. Davies for a
copy of her Quadrophenia play, I would highly recommend doing so.
For one thing, it actually does a better job in many ways of
adapting the music to a story line and making a story line that
embodies the music than what Pete has done with the recent Quad
tours. She sort of uses a "Flowers for Algernon"-like motif by
using Jimmy's personal journal to tie the play together at the
beginning and end. Most of all, it's darn good playwriting that
would really work and be very affective if actually staged and
presented. You can almost hear the different characters talking!
Any other thoughts on the play from those who have read it?

Kudos to Jen!
