THR413 starts where THR215 DramLit stops. Yes, we have to talk more about the Grammar of Drama, but overall emphasis is on Art & ARTISTS (Part 2 and 3); The names are in main directory. Yes, we start with Shakespeare again (Hamlet) to get everybody on the same page, but my intentions are to get to Chekhov (the end of modernity) and travel through the decades (styles) of the 20th century.The last (next) part is Theory (or Philosophy)....
Part I. Craft
Part III. Theory [ "200words" after reading each new play posted on Dramlit List! On Time! ]
Must have contemporary ground -- "today" -- why it is important for us in 2003.
Writing assignments: 200 words post after reading each play. Midterm (Outline, 1st Draft, Final), Final (and/or the Scene -- the same three stages or rewrites), tests. Paper must be "personal" -- your take, opinion, vision.
