"The problem with PLAYS is the gritty little details are often not true, which leads the play goers to think they know the true story, when in fact they don't."

Would yuou then suggest that playwrites deliberately not include "gritty" details? If the main character in her monologue calls upon smells and tastes and touch in order to make her story more vivid.....is that misleading? If the playwrite chooses to have the main character engage in activities which anyone in that situation might have engaged in, is that disengenuous? Would you suggest that the playwrite deliberately avoid using any detail which might draw his audience in and make his characters breathe? Is this only a danger if the play is based upon or inspired by real world events? Perhaps the playwrite should avoid dealing with real events entirely then?
