Talk:Children of a Lesser God (film)

message: I added the Split header because the play was much more significant in the history of stage compared to the film's role in the history of cinema, other than Marlee Matlin's Oscar win. I think there should be analysis of the play's themes and history, while the film page probably ought to focus only on its differences and facts specifically about the film.

replies: text: i, too, support the proposed split. the 1980 broadway play (starring Phyllis Frelich) won three tony awards and deserves it's own article. i'll try to get started on it soon if no one else does. i would, however, strongly suggest that the article titles be "Children of a Lesser God" and "Children of  a Lesser God (film)" since the play pre-dates the movie by about five years.

replies: text: I would suggest "Children of a Lesser God (play)" and "Children of a Lesser God (film)" with a disambig  on "Children of a Lesser God"; the film will probably be better-known to most. Geoff NoNick 18:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: At the moment I don't see enough information on the play to justify splitting out. If I prefer to see a separate section on the play added, then see how much that section expands to before making the decision. --MarkS (talk) 19:39, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can understand that, although right now pointing Children of a Lesser God go directly to the movie is misrepresenting this drama, even though the movie is better known. Children of a Lesser God is a groundbreaking play that happened to be adapted into a movie. If anything, the play should be the article, with a section for the movie, although this is not usual for Wikipedia on a mainstream picture. I will try to do some work on an article for the play. 70.146.34.118 16:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I think perhaps a notice at the top suggesting children of a Lesser God (play) would be enough. Geoff NoNick 16:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
