You wouldn't know it from my incessant nitpicking, but I do understand the concept of "poetic license". Whenever I see a writer (or director or lighting designer or whomever) make a decision that could be considered odd or, in light of the source material, "inaccurate", I ask myself, What purpose does that choice serve? I thought I was pretty clear about how I thought Wright's choices helped or hindered his play. I'm not dissing him for playing with the chronology, for instance, except insofar as it confuses spectators who aren't already well-acquainted with the sequence of events.
