Dramatistsues Doyle in Playboy wrangle

Herald.ie: A DRAMATIST who claims he co-wrote a modern version of Playboy Of The Western World with novelist Roddy Doyle has alleged breach of copyright over the staging of the play in the Abbey Theatre.
Bisi Adigun, of Moorefield Cottages, Roebuck Road, Dublin, alleges he initiated, with Mr Doyle, a version in which the Playboy Christy Mahon was a Nigerian asylum seeker.
Mr Adigun, a dramatist and theatre director/producer, is suing the Abbey, theatre director Jimmy Fay, and Mr Doyle over the Playboy as staged in the Abbey between December 2008 and January 2009.
