Originally posted by red diva I guess I'm just in a silly mood today.  Sleep deprivation, I guess, as our first play of the new season opens tonight.   Here's another "game" that was very popular in our theatre about 25 years ago. (I wasn't around then, of course, but others have told me about it.)   Think of an obscure way of phrasing the titles of famous plays, then challenge someone to figure out the show you are talking about.  Obviously, these are titles that would have prevented the playwrights cited from getting a publisher.   Example:   "A Public Conveyance that has the Nomenclature Indicating a Sense of Want"  (A Streetcar Named Desire)   No more hints - you figure them out:   "An Amusing Incident that Occurred while Traveling to the Seat of Government"   "The Year that We Won the Tournament"   "I Have Great Affection for You, but I Want You to Alter Certain Behaviors"   "Nighttime Illusions Occurring in the Warmest Season of the Year"   "I Bid You Adieu, Mama, for the Evening"   "Precipitation in my Chapeau"   "Intensive Labor Relations"   "The Strange Duet"   You get the idea, now you add some.   (I actually posted this one before "A bit of frivolity", but I edited it and it showed up as being a later post.)

Well ya got Avenue Q, and The Glass Menagerie

"The Wee Village" = Urinetown.  Not really tricky, but definitely a terrible pun.

How about:

"The great value of assuming the identity of Mr. Borgnine"

"Depression in the First Permanent Settlement in French Louisiana"

"Regarding mus musculus and homo sapiens"

and my favorite...

"Miller Busey Miller Perot"
