post a 400-600 word response addressing the questions below. Response does not have to be formatted as a formal essay; response may be a list or answers to these questions. However, responses must contain correct grammar and punctuation. Question number 1 is the most important question in factoring grade.

Questions:

1. What was the director’s purpose, message, or concept? (What is the point of the production? What is the director saying about what it means to be a human being living in the world today?)

2. What was the inciting incident of this play?

3. How would you describe the structure of this play as informed by course content?

4. Who do you consider the main character and what was their main goal, obstacle, and action for the whole play?

5. If you had to guess, did this actor take an internal or external approach to developing their character and, most importantly, what did you see in their performance that made you draw this conclusion?

6. What would you describe as the director’s focus for this production? What were they focusing on in the play and how did they use the elements of the theatre to tell the specific story they wanted to tell? (Remember, every play can tell more than one story. Be specific to this PRODUCTION, not just this play.)

7. How did the set, lights, and costuming choices affect the storytelling? What was the goal for the design and did they achieve their goal?

8. How did the course content on design (reading or videos) inform your viewing/understanding of this production?

9. How would you describe the performance space and the aesthetic distance in this production?

10. How did the course content on theatre history inform your viewing/understanding of this production?

11. How do you see this production being influenced by past theatre practitioners (theatre history)?

12. Discuss how this play reflects one of the four “theories” presented in class (post dramatic, feminist, post-colonial, African-American). Use vocabulary and concepts from the readings on these theories. Additional Requirements:
Include a word count.
Responses should utilize vocabulary and concepts from class. Us at least SIX
advanced vocabulary words from class (words you did not know before taking
this course). BOLD and CAPS vocabulary words. Do NOT use the
word verisimilitude. Selection and correct use of vocabulary words is the
dominant factor in grading.
This is the instructor’s only opportunity to verify that you actually saw the
production, so responses should clearly indicate that you saw this particular
production as opposed to just read about the play or other productions of it
online. You are analyzing THIS company’s choices, not the playwriting. Read your
response before posting and ask yourself if you could have written your response
from just reading the play. If so, re-do and analyze THIS production.
All posts (except for the first) must indicate that you have read all the previous
posts and replies before posting your response. Add to and respond to the
discussion (or at least don’t just repeat what someone else has said).
You don’t have to be nice. Express how you really felt. Feel free to be critical
without being insulting.
This is short! There is no room for you to define terms, just use them correctly.
Avoid sentences like: “A good actor should play a clear objective and obstacle
and be free of physical tension, but in this production…”
Most important requirement: There is also no room for description. Posts that
summarize all or part of the plot or simply describe the production will not earn
credit. Assume all readers saw the production. You may need to refer to design
elements of points of the plot, but do not take the word count to describe them.
