Tom Cushing[edit]

  • ... that Tom Cushing's play The Devil in the Cheese featured Bela Lugosi, an Egyptian god, and a bit of mummified cheese?
  • Reviewed: Marten Woudstra ‎

Created/expanded by Gamaliel (talk). Self nominated at 21:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC).

  • The play doesn't feature Bela Lugosi, the first performance did.
ALT1 ... that Tom Cushing's play The Devil in the Cheese features a Greek bandit posing as a priest, an Egyptian god, adventures in the South Seas, and a bit of mummified cheese?
New enough, long enough, neutral enough, no copyvio or plagiarism of the sources I could check. Article finishes rather suddenly but that's nothing to do with DYK eligibility. Ready to go if my ALT is OK (it's important to mention the South Seas at every opportunity lest we forget all those unfortunate shipwrecked mariners still stranded on its islands [Patriotic music of appropriate country plays. Reviewers stare meaningfully into the distance and wipe their eyes surreptiously]) Belle (talk) 13:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed for ALT1; I've struck the original hook due to the issue raised. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:35, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
  • QPQ done (a bumpy road, that one, but Gamaliel made an important and sufficient contribution). Article fully referenced. ALT1 is short enough (169 char.) and hooky enough, and checks out with online citation #8, as explained by the nominator above. Above review by Belle taken on trust. Good to go. with ALT1. --Storye book (talk) 13:05, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
