Paper Abstract: Examines three vignettes on hope & despair in play about city's riots after first Rodney King beating trial. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine voices of hope and despair articulated in Anna Deveare Smith's play Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992, which is made up of vignettes that were performed in Smith's one-woman show and that, more significantly, function as commentary on the consequences of the Los Angeles riot of 1992. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which Twilight was written and then to discuss how the selected monologues convey the emotional content of social, economic, and political realities--or perceptions thereof--of the contemporary Los Angeles experience. When on a spring afternoon in 1992 the policemen who were filmed on videotape beating a black motorist, Rodney King, Los Angeles gradually became a city under seige. Smith's play title, Twilight, refers to the hours after the verdict, when events of viole Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Life & career of director, acting teacher & founder of Method Acting. Paper Introduction: Lee Strasberg was one of the leading acting teachers in America and was particularly associated with a certain style of acting that would dominate the American stage after World War II. Strasberg was little known to most of the world except as the guru of Method Acting until he appeared in a prominent role in the film Godfather II, but many of his students were very well known to the public at large, among them John Garfield, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jane Fonda, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, and Dustin Hoffman. American Method Acting actually started in Russia with Konstantin Stanislavski and the Moscow Art Theater, opened in 1898. Stanislavski wrote about his approach to acting in An Actor Prepares, published in Russia in 1926 and in the United States in 1936. Some of Stanislavski's ideas made their way to Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Examines realistic, optimistic, non-revolutionary depiction of racial conflict in [A Raisin in the Sun] & two more dramas. Paper Introduction: This study will examine racial conflict as it is portrayed by Lorraine Hansberry in three plays, A Raisin in the Sun, What Use Are Flowers? and The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window. As an intelligent black woman and artist born in 1930 and dying in 1965, Hansberry is clearly aware of the significance of racism in the United States, and she includes racial bigotry and stereotyping as important elements of each of these three plays, either directly or indirectly. However, Hansberry is an optimist, not a revolutionary. Her work leans toward the reassuring rather than the disturbing. Her characters, for the most part, live in a world which still contains the salvation and healing that love and personal development can bring, even in the face of racial and other obstacles.

Paper Abstract: Origins & development of traveling troop of deaf actors; aims, funding, productions. Paper Introduction: National Theatre of the Deaf The National Theatre of the Deaf is a showcase for both deaf and hearing talent. Its purpose is to give an opportunity for deaf actors to develop their talent for audiences of all levels--adults, children, hearing and non-hearing. It is a traveling troupe with a rigorous schedule each year. The troupe travels for twenty-six weeks annually (Baldwin 45). It has been highly acclaimed both on the stage and in its television appearances. What began as a hope and wish for a small group of people is now a reality and a fully respected professional theatrical troupe. Before 1967, there was little professional entertainment for the deaf community. In the cities, organizations for the deaf put on amateur shows and mime presentations. There was no professional group of actors who were deaf or signed. A few Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Critical review of work on theatrical communication process, speech, audience, text. Paper Introduction: The Semiotics of Performance by Marco De Marinis provides a thorough analysis of the theatrical communication process. I recommend this book with reservations, however. The information is not presented in a user-friendly fashion; few diagrams aid the reader in understanding some of the more complex concepts that De Marinis discusses. An index, always useful in interpreting scholarly works of this length, is not provided. Numerous references are made to classical works, such as those of Plato and Aristotle; more references should have been included that are recognizable to the modern reader. On the other hand, the depth of De Marinis's analysis is clearly evident throughout his book. The author quotes extensively from a wide variety of sources; the endnote section is nearly 50 pages long. Unfortunately, most of the bibliography Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Critical analysis of tragedy's characters, plot, themes, emotional impact, strengths & weaknesses. Paper Introduction: In his play The Price, Arthur Miller attempts to bring moral and familial issues far closer to home than he believes he had done in some of his "larger" social and political plays. He writes in his autobiography Timebends about his own vision and purpose with respect to the play and its very personal message: Two brothers, one a policeman, the other a successful surgeon, meet again after an angry breakup many years before. . . . Grown men now, they think they have achieved the indifference to the betrayals of the past that maturity confers. But it all comes back; the old angry symbols evoke the old emotions of injustice; and they part unreconciled. Neither can accept that the world needs both of them---the dutiful man of order and the ambitious, selfish creator who invents new cures Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines characters' search for their song, individual spirit, authenticity, or purpose in life. Paper Introduction: This study will examine August Wilson's play Joe Turner's Come and Gone, focusing on the characters' search for their "song." The play offers a number of definitions of what this "song" is, but it is roughly equivalent to one's individual spirit or purpose in life. The study will consider in greater depth what this song is, its significance, which characters have found theirs, which are still searching, and which will probably never find it. The thesis of the study will be that those who have found their songs have come to a state of acceptance about life and its difficulties, and have as a result discovered within themselves what the others are seeking in vain outside themselves. Those who have not found their songs are still doing battle with life, with people, and with themselves. The significance of the song, then, is found in the fact that the Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Use of naturalism & expressionism in portrayal of Willy Loman's losing struggle against social, familial & economic forces. Paper Introduction: This study will examine naturalism and expressionism in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The study will argue that the play employs both naturalism and expressionism in the author's portrayal of Willy Loman's losing struggle against social, familial and economic forces beyond his control, and that these literary and philosophical approaches are used to show the break-up of Willy and the family (an expressionistic effect) as well as the cause of that break-up (through expressionistic devices). At the same time, Miller was not restricted by the traditional uses of expressionism and naturalism in this play, choosing instead to use those approaches according to his own needs and interpretations. Although there are many varieties of naturalistic writing, in all of them there is a strong sense of the individual as the Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Tragic elements of plays by Sophocles, Shakespeare & Arthur Miller. Paper Introduction: The tragic hero derives from the Greek drama, as elucidated by the criticism of Aristotle in particular. Tragedy in this conception is struggling against something over which we really have no control, and the tragedy develops from a recognition of the futility of the struggle, leading to the resignation of the tragic hero to his or her fate and indeed even to the embracing of that fate. The hero often knows his fate but still does not see it coming, as it were. He or she then takes responsibility for that failure--this is the lesson learned and imparted to the audience and only reinforces the power of the gods and the need for the human spirit to obey. Underlying the actions of the tragic hero is a fatal flaw in his character, and it is because of this flaw that he or she is not able to escape fate. The flaw is usually a form of pride, but it need not be that particular Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Sociopolitical critique of play on Chicano cultural identity in 1943. Paper Introduction: In his musical drama Zoot Suit, playwright Luis Valdez fashions a theatrical experience around two dramatic elements: the historical event of the "Zoot Suit Riots" of 1943 and the commanding image of an icon-like narrator called "El Pachuco." The first is a largely-overlooked historical occurrence of blatant anti-Chicano racism that happened in Los Angeles during World War II. The second, El Pachuco, is a dramatic creation designed to combat the image of the stereotypical Chicano by overstereotyping. Valdez utilizes the Bertolt Brecht-influenced formula of the 1930s' "Living Newspaper" to recreate Zoot Suit's historical events in a presentational, agit-prop style (Huerta 15). In such a style, according to Mordecai Gorelik in New Theatres for Old, "Theatre is a tribunal" (378). That is, it is a deliberate "trial" wherein the playwright is the prosecutor, Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Critical analysis of one-act play, based on article by critic Gerry McCarthy. Style, theme, importance of actors, ambiguity, view of life. Paper Introduction: Analyzing one of Sam Shepard's plays can be an arduous task for even the most gifted scholar. Such a challenge has at times been welcomed, but seldom completed satisfactorily. The writings, the commentaries of various critics and numerous dramatists, speak loudly and repeatedly of the frustration in their attempts to name a central theme, to identify some congruency of idea or presentation, to unearth some logic and rationale in characterization, to find evidence of some wholeness in what these plays are saying. Shepard has written a one-act play called Action. It is a sterling success in that it very craftily conjures up questions, thoughts, and feelings about this whole notion of activity - its place, its presence (or lack of), its handling by characters in staged theater. It is less than successful in that it clouds and Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Analyzes causes & effects of misbehavior of novels' adolescent female protagonists. Paper Introduction: This study will analyze the misbehavior of adolescent girls as exemplified by the character of Frankie Addams in Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding and by the character of Beverly Ann Donofrio in her autobiographical Riding in Cars With Boys. The study will consider what makes an adolescent girl a "bad girl" or a "good girl," what leads them to misbehave, how each of the two girls sees herself, how each girl's culture judges her, and how this reader sees each of them. There are similarities and differences between the two girls in terms of why they are "bad" in the eyes of those around them. They come from very different socioeconomic backgrounds, Beverly from a poor neighborhood, Frankie from a wealthier family with a cook and other conveniences. They live in different era---Frankie in the 1940s of World War II, Beverly in the 1960s, but both eras Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Explores relationship between father Willy Loman and son Biff and their contrasting views on Amer. Dream. Paper Introduction: This study will explore the relationship between the father Willy Loman and his son Biff in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Specifically, the study will argue that Willy and Biff stand diametrically opposed to one another with respect to their views of the American Dream. Willy is a broken man who refuses to see that his blind seeking of that Dream has broken him, and Biff is the realist who accepts his own and his father's failure to bring that Dream to fruition. There is friction between Biff and Willy from the beginning of the play to the end. Talking with his younger brother Happy, Biff says, "Why does Dad mock me all the time? . . . Everything I say there's a twist of mockery on his face. I can't get near him." Willy both loves and hates Biff because Biff was Willy's Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: (Arthur Miller). Examines view that play about Puritan witch-hunt is a critique of McCarthyism. Paper Introduction: This study will discuss the theme of McCarthyism as portrayed in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. The theme of McCarthyism is not dealt with directly in the play, and Miller has been adamant at times in his disavowal of McCarthyism as the inspiration for the work, but it is undeniable that the theme of the communist witch-hunts in the early 1950s in the United States is closely tied with the literal witch-hunt occurring in the play. The nation was in the midst of a red scare in 1952, when the play was written, and Miller himself was deeply affected as an individual in the center of that scare, having been called to testify against others and refusing to do so. Miller's play is about McCarthyism in a less limited way than many observers have noted. His work is not merely meant to Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: (Arthur Miller). Examines play on Puritan witch-hunts in context of historical need of community to find scapegoats to express its oppressive bigotry. Paper Introduction: The subject of Arthur Miller's play The Crucible is the Salem witchcraft trials, and Miller uses the historical trials as a way of commenting on the nature of official oppression and bigotry as directed at a specific group in society. Miller's play was produced during the McCarthy era and was intended to comment directly on the "witch-hunts" of our own time as McCarthy and his cohorts ferreted out Communists everywhere as a way of promoting their own careers rather than the truth. The witchcraft in the play is built on historical evidence from the period as to the rationale offered by the Puritans for the witch hunt, historical analysis which has offered its own assessment of why the witch hunts developed and what purposes they served, and links with contemporary witch hunts to show how these processes and patterns of thought persist and continue to cause injustice Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: (Arthur Miller). Critical appreciation of play about destructiveness of man's selfishness and greed. Paper Introduction: This study will present a critical appreciation of Arthur Miller's The Ride Down Mt. Morgan. The key to a full appreciation of this play is found in the playwright's "Staging Note": The play veers from the farcical to the tragic and back again and should be performed all-out in both directions as the situation demands, without attempting to mitigate the extremes (Staging Note). Miller was in the twilight of his career when he wrote the play, and with such a staging note it is clear that he is trying to break free of constructions which he has labored under in earlier plays. Certainly his most famous work is thoroughly tragic, with little humor and certainly less farce. In The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, Miller wants to present a play which will defy his image as an exclusively tragic writer, but at the same time Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: Tennessee Williams is a playwright who makes strong use of symbolism and imagery, and he uses a great deal of both in The Glass Menagerie, a play many feel recalls Williams' own family situation. This idea is strengthened by the fact that the brother, Tom, is a budding writer who leaves home, and the play is presented as a memory, something that Tom as narrator emphasizes at the outset. Tom in fact also emphasizes the symbolic nature of the play itself. He describes the characters to be presented and indicates that one of them is more realistic than the others, being an emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from. But since I have a poet's weakness for symbols, I am using this character also as a symbol; he is the long-delayed but always expected Read the Entire Essay.

The American Dream is a dream of power, a dream of control over one's own life; it is a dream of happiness carved out of the living off the land, living a life of family, of prosperity and of freedom. Settlers dreamed of a whole new continent where dreams could be forged and new lives made. But, inherent in the exploration of this vast land was also the freedom of the unknown, the great potential which can be likened to the potential of a small child.

Paper Introduction: Stanislavski and His System No single person has influenced the theater more than Konstantin Stanislavski. Stasnislavski and the modern theater in Russia, as well as throughout the world, became synonymous, because of his system of "Method Acting." He was born to a family of means in Moscow on January 17, 1863, and was well educated. Early in his life, he made a choice to devote himself to the stage: "Throughout his adolescence he took part in numerous performances organized in his family's house where stage facilities were specially built by his father." Theater became his passion. He took singing, drama and ballet lessons. While pursuing his amateur career, Stanislavski used his family money to start the Society of Art and Literature in 1888.

Paper Abstract: & [A Streetcar Named Desire] (Tennessee Williams). Compares fantasy worlds of Laura & Blanche as they evade harsh realities.

In The Glass Menagerie, Laura is an extremely shy girl who must wear a brace on her leg. Her demanding and insensitive mother wants her to get married as soon as possible. However, Laura's insecurities and shyness make it difficult for her to function in the real world. When she is rejected in romance by Jim, her childhood idol, Laura retreats into a world of fantasy. In A Streetcar Named Desire, the character Blanche experiences a number of personal losses. Her first husband shoots himself when she refuses to accept his affair with a man. Later, many of her older relatives die, and she loses the family fortune as well as her country home.

Paper Abstract: (Arthur Miller). Critique of play with regard to construction, plot, tone, secondary conflict, empathy & style. Paper Introduction: This paper will provide a critique of the drama Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller. It is generally agreed that Death of a Salesman is a "tragedy of the common man caught up in the false values imposed by middle-class American society" (Murray 386). The chief character of the play, Willy Loman, is an average man who has become deluded with the American dream. As such, he is an individual who is having difficulty merging his personal beliefs and ideals with the realities of modern life. However, it can be seen that Willy Loman's tragedy is not one that is unique to him alone. In fact, during the late 1940s and early 1950s, when Death of a Salesman first became popular, many people in America were sensitive to the deterioration of values being caused by the conflicts of modern times. In this way, Miller related the theme of this play to a universal human experience-- Read the Entire Essay.

We will compare the plots of the two plays, the themes in the two plays, and look at Tennessee Williams' intentions as a playwright in the two plays. In contrast to Tom, who sets the mood in Glass Menagerie, Amanda Wingfield is a mover, the major character who sets the story into motion. Basically, she is the play's main character. Throughout the course of the play, Tom, Laura and Jim react to Amanda's stimulating and complicated personality.

Paper Abstract: Life & career of 19th Cent.-20th Cent. Amer. producer, director, playwright. Major works, style development, staging innovations. Paper Introduction: David Belasco was a multi-talented figure in American theater at the turn of the century. As a child, he began his theatrical career as an actor. However, as an adult, Belasco became most widely known for his work as a producer, director, and playwright. David Belasco was always a great perfectionist in his work in these three areas. As noted by one writer, Belasco "spared himself nothing in his devotion to detail" (Moses 52). Because of his dedication to his craft and his attention to detail, Belasco was able to make great strides in the development of theatrical art. In fact, as claimed by one of his contemporaries in 1918, "alone among American theatrical managers of the past twenty years, he understood and practically recognized that Acting is a Fine Art and not merely a business" (Winter Volume II 423).

Paper Abstract: (Arthur Miller). Theme, structure, technique of time sequence, characterizations & tragic elements in the play. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to discuss Death of a Salesman, with particular emphasis on Arthur Miller's technical and scenic craftsmanship, his concept of social realism, and tragic elements of the play. Many American critics with a political bias saw Death of a Salesman and, later, The Crucible (1953) as political statements antithetical to the establishment. During the McCarthy era, Miller was refused a passport to attend the opening of The Crucible in Brussels. In 1956, he was called before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, where he refused to name suspected communists and was consequently convicted of contempt of Congress.
