Yes, clarification is needed on what is meant by “You must be open to the director possibly having a different vision for your writing.” Why is this clause in? The ‘vision’ for a work usually comes from the person who has written it, i.e. the writer, and the job of the creative team is to realise that ‘vision’. Why is something different being hinted at here? Has the director/s had a bad experience with a playwright or what?
