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?

Hi Job, good to see you. Funny idea. I'm too weak on names to join in..pathetic I know.

Trev - Long Day's Journey Into Night

Fantastic. boy it would be Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong

I'm sure the cut text from My fair lady and Hamlet would come in handy for the second act !!!

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!)
