Egads! I just discoverd that the play I read, in the company of men is not from 1992, it's from 1997. --Well, the original play might be from 1992, but the version I read came after the movie and has a 1997 date on it, and the 1992 documentation cannot be found.
But I can switch things around a little and make it work, I think.
