Default Author of the Miracle Worker

While I'm sure we all have our varied opinions about this show, I'm surprised this went without mention.

William Gibson, author of the Miracle Worker, passed away last week at age 94.

One of my favorite Theatre stories centers around Miracle Worker. Seems this freind of mine, a great costumer, was doing the show in Texas. Well the lady playing..... Annie is it ? The Teacher, had a REALLY thick Texas Accent. So, they're doing the famous water pump scene, She says, " That's right , Hellen, Water < she pronounces it wart-er, and it catches her off guard> (then signing) W - A - R .......T - E - R, Warter! "

Ok it's a lot funnier when you say it out loud. Did William Gibson write "Monday after the Miracle" as well ? 'cause honestly that particular show falls really flat.
