>How do you think it ought to be staged?  Very spare and evocative
again? Mostly lighting and a few background slides and some mist with a 
couple of stools onstage?  I had sort of envisioned that myself, with 
characters appearing out of the shadows to impart their wisdom to Ray.  That 
does put a lot of pressure on the cast to carry the play.  Did you see 
MASTER CLASS by any chance?

I'm on pretty thin ice here, getting into the fine points of drama, but I 
found a website that talks about the styles of plays.

According to this guide, I guess Lifehouse 2000 would be the theme (and 
maybe some character) driven play, and Pete/Jeff Young have gotten it 
confused with the language play.  Hmmm.  What would Who rock opera be?  
Spectacle driven?  :)
