I thought of Robert Ike’s Dylan haunted Hamlet here too, especially It’s Not Dark Yet at that exact moment, although One More Cup of Coffee after that was just as good at triggering the perfect closing mood for that production. Also very happy to be reminded of Wrecking Ball in Chekhov’s First Play, loved that at the time.
The play Lucy used Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero for a scene where the creepy nanny is playing with her young charge. It was early 2023 so the song had was still in heavy rotation. As a meta commentary on the character I guess it worked, I still wonder if Taylor read the play before approving its use or if she was ever aware of the play at all.

Very weird, that exact moment with Not Dark Yet is what sprang to mind for me when I saw this headline
I have since been told that he stole it from Ivo Van Hove’s Roman Tragedies
Great artists steal, etc etc
