Hi, Folks--
 
I'm doing some research for a couple of projects, and could use your
help. . .
 
1. I'm working on a production  of Karel Capek's 1921 play "R.U.R." and
would like to correspond with anyone who's done or seen a production of it.
 
2. I am also beginning research for an opera/ ballet of Thea von Harbou's
"Metropolis" and am finding materials scarce. . .anyone know of places to
look, or good source material?
 
3. I've been told there have been recent musicals of both these
pieces--R.U.R. became "The Robots" and the musical "Metropolis" ran in
Chicago and for about a week in London. Anyone have more specific info on
either of these?
 
Please Email me directly at:

Thanks for the help. . .I appreciate it!
