Now that we have finished learning about the “arc” of theatre history– from the Greeks to the Modern era, I would like for you to choose a particular style of theatre from our historical timeline that is of interest to you– it could be anything, even an era that we didn’t fully explore, like Melodrama or Neoclassical theatre. I would suggest avoiding the Renaissance era, since our reading of Othello was from this era.
For this week, I would you to do a small research project on a play– one that we have NOT looked at in class (we have done OTHELLO, AMERICAN DREAM & THEATRICAL WORLDS)–
See if you can find a play for your particular era that seems both interesting to you and that fits within the characteristics of the era you have chosen.
