If Katie Mitchell were to direct Rookery Nook, as was brilliantly suggested on a thread under 'Plays', can you think of other shows to which particular directors would be spectacularly unsuited? Here's a modest starter:
Simon McBurney - Murder at the Vicarage
Steven Berkoff - The Cherry Orchard
Hal Prince - The Caretaker
Mike Leigh - 42nd Street
Robert Lepage - Abigail's Party
Trevor Nunn - Starlight Express (er.. scrub that one)
Any other suggestions?

Actually my point was that she would be totally suited to Rookery Nook (because she has most of the costumes available already). Anyway:
Deborah Warner - Up 'n Under
Sir Peter Hall - Shopping and F***ing

It's a funny idea - but my mind is too sluggish tonight to participate.
Mind you, I thought someone was kidding me when they said Mark Rylance, France de la Tour and Roger Allam were going to be in Boeing, Boeing.
I would have thought Paul Kerryson would have an even more (erm) unusual slant on something by Brecht....

Peter Brook - The Mouse Trap (unless it was the play within the play in Hamlet)
Adrian Noble - The Master Builder (actually he would produce it very well, but you get the point!)

Does anyone really believe that Raymond Gubbay would ever do anythig of substance? Only his bank account has substance, even when he uses decent artists or directors the results are bland and boring ...even his one "hit" Madam Butterfly has been left to get old and tired ...
