	@MSUKent: Very interesting quiz. First one I've seen of its kind. Some of the character names are indelible in literature (Loman, DuBois, Keller, Capulet, even Bialystock) but w/others the characters name is contained in the plays title (Gynt, Twist, de Bergerac, Faustus, Pan) so were almost a dead giveaway. I dont know/didn't check to see if Nora (Ibsen) or George/Martha (Albee), etc. had last names but if so they might be worthy substitutes...or ripe for a sequel. Lotsa fun tho.

	I was like, "Richard Furter?" then I saw the answer and was like "OH! Richard N. Furter!"

	The title of this quiz should really be 'play or musical' - I worked in theatre marketing and you do not mix those two up.

	I'd recommend switching Ibsen to Henrik Torvald and the play to A Doll's House, since Gynt is in the title.

	Argh! Pygmalion - not My fair lady. I should have known...

	You need to accept "Huis clos" for "No Exit" since that is the original French title.

	The word "picture" shouldn't be included in the answer for the Richard Furter clue. The word was added to the title for the film only.

	I had no idea 'Huis Clos' had been translated under the title 'No Exit' - the English translation I know is called 'In Camera'. I'd have thought the French title is better known than either, and would suggest you accept all three.

	OH, how could I not get 'The Producers'????

	I don't think this Shirley Valentine play is at all well-known outside the UK.

	After the answers were revealed, I realized I should have gotten more of these! Glad Twist was in the clue for Oliver! I kept thinking Charles Dickens, but of course he wrote the book on which the play was based. Creative puzzle!
