Percentages

I was wondering, after a recent post of mine, what percentage of the plays I've read for work (which are given to me in random order) are set in a New York City apartment, and what percent contained voodoo, etc.

Here's a fun breakdown:

NYC apartment setting: 38%
Voodoo-type stuff: 17%
Race Issues: 13%
Gay Jokes: 17%
Male Lead Character: 68%
Male Author:70%
Pre-1960: 13%
Not in the U.S.: 8%
Features a person turning into something un-human: 17%
Features drug use: 13%
Features a prostitute who likes her job: 12%
Features a prostitute who hates her job: 0%
Drama: 68%
Comedy: 20%
Undecided, or neither of the above:12%
Features marital infidelity: 28%
Features an important dream or "vision" (including ghosts): 42%
Is an absolutely inscrutable piece of shit: 6%

I have recommended for a second read: 16%
