* The Compact Bedford Intro to Drama (textbook) *

Y2K America: 50% children are raised by single mothers. The End of Family. THe price of individualization. Family is a atomic element of the SOCIETY (Individual v. Society). Therefore -- everyone in a position of a hero. Hero by default!

All cast heroes? (Chekhov)

What's happened if a grave-digger becomes Prince Hamlet? (Stoppard)

Fathers & Sons? What about fatherless? Society as Father; doubling the conflict. Become anti-social; anti-hero.

Mother "married" to society: whore?

Woman as man. Bysexual, unisex?

The world without men. (Classic situation of "home at war times") = Total & Pure War (Verilio).
