"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." -- George Bernard Shaw PS? If you took THR215 Dramatic Literature, you should sign for THR413 Playscript Analysis! * Theatre Chronology * notes Featured Pages : Preface Subscribe to DramLit Forum! I use this page for reflections, when the class is over. This is an extension of the NOTES page, which I update through the semester. There are several names and titles are missing: Oedipus Rex by Sophocles and Moliere... Sometimes I can squeeze in an extra play, but it takes a week to cover any extra text... Some lose pages, like Lorca -- I like him, I directed The House of Bernarda Alba, but no time for him in both drama classes. NEW : I placed some links into the popup window; the theory pages related to script analysis. We end up with the social (historical) commentaries on our reality (most recent titles like "How I Learned to Drive"). This is why I have a subtitle to Grammar of Drama: Script Analysis of the Last Century. Summary There are several way to go from here. Directing, Acting pages? Questions What's next? Well, I wrote drama pages for theatre majors; go to your directories -- acting, directing, film...

2004: I am tired of webpages. I am waiting for the time, when I can use them for writing, not notes. When? I don't know. Where is this time?

Not even on this PS page? Not even at the end of the journey through so many great plays? Something is wrong. The narrative should give a birth to itself!

Especially, the history of drama came to its post-historical phaze.

So, what was this 25 centuries long story about?

You never know what is enough, until you know what is more than enough. ~William Blake, Proverbs of Hell [ Read! ]

That's all!

... Well, I'm still working on the order of the reading (THR413 Playscript analysis). What should be read first -- Pirandello or Brecht?

How to jump to Absurd & Beckett?

When and how introduce the Postmodern?

How to link the critical readings with the plays?

Updates? Next time I teach this class...

Where to go now? Go to my research pages!

script.vtheatre.net/413

Let me repeat myself (from Film600 and script.vtheatre.net):

Where teaching and studying (research) meet --

Theme-thought, according to different playwrights (Shakespeare, Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov and so on) and directors (Fillini, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Bergman pages).

Connections with other themes (list): family, gender and sex...

Finally, my own practical investigations: shows.vtheatre.net (only recently I began to make themes pages, Don Juan 2003, for example).

And the nonfiction (writing), of course: HIM, Father-Russia, PostAmeriKa, Self, POV, Tech (gatepages are in WRITE directory).

Yeah, yeah, there is more -- "philo" pages, metaphysics: in theatre theory directory, for instance (topics-bar: space, time and etc.)

"Beyond Academic"...

The biggest question for myself -- am I commiting myself to write another textbook (Script Analysis for Actors and Directors)?

Questions? Write them down!

[very important questions I write in big letters -- and post them on the walls of my appartment!]

Homework

Or better, much better -- write the plays!
