Classical Drama and Theatre
| Syllabus | |||
Play Reviews: Section 4
Please remember that you have only five minutes for your in-class presentation. You should focus on how an understanding of classical theatre and drama highlights our appreciation of the play you are reviewing. You may concentrate on one portion of the play or one or more aspects of it, for instance, the use of actors or props, the opportunities for original design in masks or set, the playwright's manipulation of conventions like character type or plot—all in all, whatever would catch the eye of an informed viewer in antiquity. Your Play Review is due at the beginning of the class after you make your in-class presentation.
