Critical Writing on Dramatic Literature and Acting
● Essay on Arthur Miller's A View from a Bridge (THEA 500):
A pretty thorough analysis of the play using both historicist and structuralist tools. Appendix items include: List of Dramatic Actions, Annotated Bibliography, and Zeder Analysis Chart.
● Essay on Structralism, the Actor, and Chekhov's Three Sisters (THEA 505):
The basic premise is that an actor can use structural analysis to aid their understanding of how a play like Three Sisters is truly functioning as a dramatic work, and then, with greater surety and ease, find their role's function within that structure. An accurate understanding of the audience POV is a guidepost for the actor as they then make the necessary conversions of the dramatic action to their character's POV.
● Essay on Moliere's Tartuffe, Wycherley's The Country Wife, and Shaw's Arms and the Man (THEA 506):
This paper is entitled, A Way of Working: an individual and comparative examination of the functional elements of Tartuffe, The Country Wife, and Arms and the Man. This is a compare and contrast paper aimed toward determining how the basic elements (comedy, characters, action, social critique, etc.) function for each play. The paper also traces the connections in comedy formulas from Commedia through Neoclassical Comedy of Manners to Shavian realism.
● Essay on the Greeks - Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides (THEA 507):
This essay is a response to two assigned questions. I used structural analysis of the playwrights' work compared to historical and autobiographical information for the purpose of distilling the POV of each playwright and how they function within Greek society.
● Essay on Hamlet in Production (THEA 507):
The paper is entitled, The Man Who Would Be King: a practical, subjective, but textually supported analysis of the character of Hamlet in production.
