[net.movies] Shaffer's "Amadeus" vs. Pushkin's "M

I expect no one has mentioned Pushkin's "Mozart and Salieri" simply
because they are not aware of it.  Some of Pushkin's work is readily
available in English (The short stories, Evgenii Onegin, and a few
poems),  but I have never seen an English translation of the few
short plays he wrote.

I wonder if P.D.Q. Bach's one act opera, "The Stoned Guest" got its
title from Pushkin's Don Juan play, "The Stone Guest"?  Someone must
be reading these plays.
