You may view a recorded production of A Raisin in the Sun, available for free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cBUYaL2HvVo Assignment Details Your goal for this paper is to consider the production you are watching in the context of the theatre movements and styles we have studied this semester. As you watch this production, you should consider the following questions: 1. What themes does this play address? 2. What kinds of characters does this play feature? 3. Which of the genres/styles/traditions we have studied does this play most resemble? 4. In what ways does it resemble this genre/style/tradition? 5. In what ways does it depart from this genre/style/tradition? 6. What do you suppose the playwright was attempting to say about the world with this play? What key moments stood out to you as communicating these ideas? You should begin your paper with a paragraph that gives the basic information about the production its title, the name of the playwright, where and when it was performed and your general, overall impression of the play. Consider your biggest takeaway from the experience. Consider whether the play seems valuable and/or worthwhile as a piece of dramatic literature. You should follow this introduction with a very brief (no more than 5-10 sentences) description of the plays plot. For the remainder of your paper, reflect on the questions above. If you have other issues or ideas you feel youd like to address, feel free to do so. Your goal is to consider this play in the context of our class. Work to organize your thoughts clearly. Note: I have a response back from my professor in regards to the Production Response Draft that I would like to share with you.
