"based on the play by..." - Can i still do it? (1 Viewer)

[princesssfi]

i'm lookign at doing somethign from the musical theatre realm for my IP, right.
perhaps hello dolly.
but then today when i asked her something about it she says "hang on, thats based on the play by thornton wilder" (and we're doing a play by him in the american theatre elective).

so apparently its out the window.
but is she right?
(hello dolly is a musical, which was based on the idea of the play, but wilder didn't write it. )
help!

i cant be certain but i dont think it will really matter.

Your best bet is to get in touch with BOS (the offical one!!) but unless you're actually studying the same text in another course there is no problem. Of course, it's always better to be safe than sorry...

i dont think it would matter, but check beforehand just in case. though like you said it wasnt actually written by thornton wilder.
