[edit]- ... that Dennis Marks survived life with an idiot to film the diary of one who disappeared?

Article was created from new, is long enough, hook is cited (have to AGF half of it as it's in a book) and catchy, in my view. No copyright problems. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:16, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
The cite to The Independent article regarding Life with an Idiot doesn't say anything about that production. Yoninah (talk) 23:20, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yoninah - Can you explain your comment please? The article contains the following (my emphasis) "Nevertheless, Marks has made mistakes. His plans for redeveloping the Coliseum included painting the blue auditorium red, and changing every seat cover to restore it to its Edwardian original. As it happens, the original was a music-hall not an opera house, and such a change would be a waste of lottery money. At the first night of Life with an Idiot earlier this year, satire turned into farce. A faulty stage truck was being given an oil-change when the curtain was meant to rise. When it did rise a bath was lowered from the flies and left hanging in mid-air." This seems, to me at least, to say something about the production. If you are happy with this, can you please remove your query? Best, --Smerus (talk) 09:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
