Should be easy to fix, just buff off the lower leg of the original final E and squeeze another E in there.

A reminder that Edward Albee was a racist asshole.

There are several versions of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? depending on the racial makeup of the cast. And Albee/Albee's estate only allows for certain combinations of race in the cast. It's something like one of the couples can be Black, but they have to both be Black. No interracial couples allowed. Seriously.

I don't even know how the estate/Albee's demands handle other races, or people of mixed race, or how they even determine what someone's race is. But if you try to put on the play and you don't follow their racist demands, they will aggressively sue the sh*t out of you. It's incredibly gross.

I'm fairly sure it would be pronounced the same either way, so that F was unnecessary.  Could probably lose one of the e's too.

I worked in our high school's print shop my senior year.  A couple of times the client had typos in the copy they gave us, and I wanted to fix them.

Mr. Antosh said nope, we have a record of what they sent us.  If we change it, and that was intentional, we have to redo the whole job at our cost.

/sounded like he had gotten stung on it in the past

Not your job to proof copy.  You could have told the client and had them resubmit but no altering of the copy that is provided.

"We clearly F-ed this one up and it's being fixed," said MTA Communications Director Tim Minton.

I can appreciate that response. Owned it and called it what it was.
