     It's worth noting that the artistic freedom that allowed Kehde to create these pieces, also allowed him to be free from censorship of any kind, be it language, situations or the length of the piece.  These dramas are offered exactly as they were produced, the productions themselves being the final determination for revision.  Please note that most of these include stage directions and original set design or references to them.  As his past actors will attest, Kehde considered stage direction as vital a part to any script as the words themselves.
