Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Charlie’s Chocolate Factory troubles

Message

    Hi...
Fellow director is searching for a good Charlie and the Chocolate Factory script. Any suggestions? We have found one, by Richard R. George, but it just doesnt suit. Considering adapting the novel but not sure of the legal hurdles we would have to jump since the book is not in public domain. Also, if we do find a script we like we could use some ideas on constructing a chocolate river...
Thanks!

	There is an adaptation done by Roald Dahl himself and is available at The Hansen Drama Shop (www.dramashop.com) listed under "Plays for Children's Theater." It is subject to royalty. Good luck!

	I would contact Hurrah Players in Norfolk VA. They just did it and do it about every four years. It is a children's group with a lot of experience. General Manager's name is Laura Aritstic Director is Hugh Copeland. i don't have a number.
