1. Consider one of the plays read or discussed so far and describe how it could be presented (a) on a proscenium stage; (b) on an arena stage; (c) on a thrust stage; (d) in found space, such as a church or warehouse; and (e) in an all -purpose space. Which space seems to be best for the play? Why?

2. Consider each of the plays read or discussed so far, and explain which type of space you think would be best for it.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  for all papers you submit for this class (critiques, short papers, extra credit), you MUST include the following information at the top of your paper; include it as part of the text of the paper and not as a header, as this will make it easier for me to mark the document electronically:

Your Name
The Assignment (i.e.: Critique One, Paper Two, etc.)
Date
The semester for which you are registered (i.e.: Fall 2000, Summer 2001, etc.)

This information MUST be included on ALL written assignments.
