Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

1776 (1969, 46th Street Theatre, Broadway/movie): Mr. Feeny and the original Judd Fry try to get the thirteen American colonies to declare independence from England with help from a flambouyant Virginian Miles Gloriosus. Charlie Anderson causes trouble in the interest of slavery.
Farragut North (2009, Geffen Playhouse, LA): Capt. Kirk tries to politically outmenuver Mr. Big.
Danny Boyle's Frankenstein (2011, London): Sherlock Holmes and Eli Stone are alternately a mad scientist and his creation and whoever's the monster opens the performance nude.
God of Carnage (2009, Bernard B Jacob Theatre,Broadway): The Dude, Mrs. Carmody, Tony Soprano, and Mrs. Garfield (and at one point O-Ren Ishii)are two sets of parents who meet after their children get in a fight. The civilized meeting quickly turns into the verbal equivalent of Lord of the Flies (considering the two moms are from Stephen King movies and another is a Yakuza Queen what do you expect?).
A Streetcar Named Desire (2009, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Harvey Theatre): Galadrial has to depend on the kindness of strangers (and a purportedly weak cast).
