Notes

1. When Marasco's Child's Play premiered on Broadway in 1970, "he refused to reveal the name of his school because he thought that theatergoers would think the work was based on reality". He said the plot originated with a news story about a teacher's suicide and the Bergman film Torment . ^[44]
