Jim, that's probably true, but I still think that Dylan was an inspired choice for the part, even tho he couldn't act and they had to split the character into two, speaking - David Warner, and singing- Dylan. Pity it wasn't mentioned in the docu as it would have further illustrated Grossman's influence, his machivellianism and his devotion to his clients. The theme of the play is rejection of a world gone wrong, English society, "the madhouse", and an Englishman's home is his castle. The character "Bobby" was a hobo who did his own thing, not bound by social convention. Dylan wasn't a hobo but he certainly did his own thing. (I still have Alison's other photos in safe keeping. Hope to be able to return them to you soon).
