Does the agreement limit the work to Dutch?
Can there be English translations?
Could there be DIFFERENT versions in English?
Who owns the rights in English now --Proulx or Ossana--McMurtry?
Could Santoalalla's music be used?

I'm not sure, I could ask the theatre company though, I got an e-mail address for their PR and marketing dept.

Ohh! I just saw this! I never know what little treasures I will dig up when I go back and scour the threads thoroughly
Melissa. My birthday isn't until September. You mean to tell me I have to wait until September before I get that sweat soaked (and whatever soaked) washcloth?
Maybe you could give it to me as an Easter present? Or a St. Patrick's Day present (Is there such a thing as a St. Patrick's Day present?)
I digress. The point is, I hope I don't have to wait until September! September is still 7 months away! >:( ;)

Yes, finding out the process of how they developed Brokeback Mountain would be very interesting to those of us back in the States. (My best Dutch friend learned English in Kentucky to the astonishment of all Southerners who met her...and now she lives in Australlia!))

Kudos to your friend! :D
If only we Americans would take the time to learn other languages when we travel abroad. Some do of course, but sadly not enough.
I can't help but wonder what those Australians must think when they hear your Dutch friend speaking English with a Kentucky accent! :)
