peer agreement (net): +2dramaturgical cut script Explanation: Yale Drama School, the premier university acting school in the US, calls this "dramaturgical cut script", as cutting the script is one of the functions of the dramaturg, the "worker of the text". However, this doesn't Google well, but that might be because it is ultra-specialized, and you don't specify the target language or culture. That's why only "medium confidence". "The collection consists of production scripts from the Yale School of Drama, including dramaturgical cut scripts, early scripts, promptbooks, production books, and regular scripts." From: http://drs.library.yale.edu:8083/HLTransformer/HLTransServle... The Univ. of Newcastle (Australia) reference below merely mentions "revised scripts", but that may not be specific enough. I actually was a dramaturg many years ago, but mostly worked as an assistant dramaturg in Germany, so I'm not 100% sure on how often this term really used in the English-speaking theater. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2013-03-16 14:20:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, left out an "is" in the last sentence: "...this term is really used..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-03-16 14:43:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also referenced by andres-larsen below, but I found it independently - a specific mention of *Strichfassung" in a list of tasks performed by the Dramaturg: "Bearbeitung und Übersetzung von Dramentexten; im Musiktheater Einrichtung von Opern oder Libretti (Strichfassung = Festlegung von Kürzungen)" from Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramaturgie The English "Dramaturgy" page in Wikipedia is not quite as detailed, but might also be of some use. Translation is also a function of the dramaturg, which was part of my job. Reference: http://drs.library.yale.edu:8083/HLTransformer/HLTransServle...
