I can't figure out how to make a "contents" table. Do they just show up automatically?

I'm not sure... I'm new to this... Hi, I just added some extra info about the play in Belgrade, Serbia, since that's where I come from.

I just took out all of the productions listing. It's just silly to list every single production... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.253.25 (talk) 08:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

This article is categorized as a "British play". Since Martin McDonagh is Irish, shouldn't this be in Irish plays? --Ferengi (talk) 20:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

The productions lists are ridiculously excessive - it should just be the West End & Broadway with maybe 10/12 other "important" productions. I would fix it but I'm not sure how to qualify which productions are needed, though college & high school productions are definitely not. Also, McDonagh was born & mostly raised in England and Scotland, so I think his plays can be considered "British". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdrummey (talk • contribs) 05:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the sections for college, high school, and community theatre productions. The guidelines for theatre articles given by WikiProject Theatre state that amateur productions should not be included, as they do not meet notability standards. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre/Article Structure for more information. Dozenthey (talk) 19:04, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems the current question is whether to include any of the information about professional productions. What is the case for removing these en masse rather than simply shortening the list? (Amateur productions have already been removed, I assume we agree on that issue). Dozenthey (talk) 16:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I removed the entire table and listing. I don't see why we should be responsible for tracking every single production ever done. Darth Id (talk) 18:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Theatre Assessment

Assigned class as "Start" - Critical reception needs its own section, and is currently represented by a few sentences in the intro. Assigned importance as "Low" - a single play is a "highly specific area of knowledge."--Dereksmootz (talk) 18:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
