How can I make fake bottles of (non-alcoholic -- or low-alcohol) Guinness? This is for a play. The audience will be very close to the stage. The beer will be poured from Guinness bottles to glasses.

What plays from the last 50-odd years should I read? Satire, black comedy, or scathing political criticism a plus. Also plays challenging the bounds of normal theater.

I'm thinking of getting tickets to see
Speed-the-Plow at London's Old Vic theatre: I loves me some Mamet, and Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum are in the lead roles. Hot dog.
How can I optimise my chances of seeing Spacey and Goldblum together rather than one of them plus an understudy? My concerns may be groundless... but do the stars tend to skip an occasional performance, and if so, do they usually skip mid-week shows, or matinees? Any insider knowledge would be much appreciated.
(In general I have nothing against understudies, who are often amazing in their own right. I just really want to see these guys at it.)

A number of years ago I witnessed a comedic reinterpretation of Shakespeare's
Titus Andronicus, a decidedly non-comedic play. Can anybody direct me to more information on this version of the play?

I had a discussion a while back where the girl I was talking to mentioned a play she had been in. It's about God going insane which in turn causes the angels to rebel in an attempt to save creation and I know it's not Angels in America. Does someone know the title of the play I'm talking about?

I'm having trouble remembering a playwright I read about long ago. IIRC, this playwright is considered an heir to the Brechtian tradition, and he accordingly hated using professional actors with practiced mannerisms. In order to achieve
verfremdungseffekt when directing, he would sometimes cast high schoolers with no previous acting expreience. I
think it might be Edward Bond, but I'm not sure. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure that he's British.

My theatre company is trying to pick our next play. We only produce "classics," but we have a broad definition of the term: basically, the play must be written prior to the 20th Century.
