Hello!
The difference in meaning between the two A and B sentences.
A. Have you seen the new production of ‘Hamlet' at the Playhouse ?
(from Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
B. Have you seen a new production of ‘Hamlet' at the Playhouse ?
(after my modification on the article)
Am I right in interpreting them as follows?
For A: The hearer knows about the production already before being asked.
And for B: The hearer does not know about the production at all about the production.
Sincerely
