Is there a way to get a copy of the script for the musical Stone Tables? I know the novelization is available, but I haven't been able to find a copy of the original. Can anyone help me out?

Sorry, the script is not available. Though Card and Stoddard are thinking of revising it at some point and making it available for production. But I don't see that happening like this week Posts: 780 | Registered: Jul 1999

Identifying Batya with the only female Pharaoh in history was intriguing, and makes a good deal of logical sense.
OTOH, there were elements that conflict with traditional Jewish views of Moses, the Jews, and/or the Egyptians. Those bothered me a little -- but then, I view this book as speculative fiction, so it was just a bit. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003
