I didn't mean to start a pissing match on this but the recently departed Mr Annoying Grammar/Spelling/Useless Trivia Guy would have been the first to note that while you insist on using the word 'should' the wording of the major concern uses the word 'shall'.
As I say I didn't see the play so I have no opinion, I'm just putting this new bit of information out there. How you misinterpret it is up to you :shrug:
