Raymonde Gagnier Feb 27, 2007:
The answer is "reprised". I couldn't answer before, since the KudoZ list only showed questions from february 22nd????... Weird...
Unbounded Arts (asker) Feb 26, 2007:
Thanks! Ok, thanks for your help.

;))
Tony M Feb 26, 2007:
Yes, BDF, that was one of my suggestions that Coco had already rejected.

Next time, please do try to give us a bit more context, so we can try and pitch our suggestions more appopriately, eh? :-)
Unbounded Arts (asker) Feb 26, 2007:
Re-staged Thanks Finch, but there is an idea of a modifying the mise-en-scene in re-staged that I want to avoid here.
B D Finch Feb 26, 2007:
Perhaps re-staged was the term you were looking for? This would credit all the company, not just the actors.
Unbounded Arts (asker) Feb 26, 2007:
Term used Hi Tony, Mary-Anne.

Thanks for your help, but I coudn't use the terms you suggested in my text.
I used "performed again".
Tony M Feb 26, 2007:
If neither of our answers is acceptable to you, what exactly were you looking for? Perhaps you could tell us what term you've ended up using, for the benefit of future users?
Tony M Feb 26, 2007:
KudoZ rules ask us to leave questions open for 24 hours to allow time for all answers to come in.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : "put on again" has a very am-dram sort of feel about it that might sound out of place in a professional theatre register

to revive

It depends how long it has been since the last previous performance, but if the play has remained unperformed for some time, we usually talk about a "revival".

Of course, if it simply means that the play transferred almost immediately to another theatre, that wouldn't be applicable.

Also "to re-stage", if it means that this was a completely fresh production.
Peer comment(s):
agree Jennifer Levey : Yes - and the context will hopefully make it clear which is the nest option here.
