Homework (due Monday, Nov. 23): Read pgs. 1-126 in Christopher Durang. This includes: "Mrs. Sorken" (which you read last year in class with me), "For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls" (a parody of Tennessee Williams' Glass Menagerie), "A Stye in the Eye" (a parody of Sam Shepherd's A Lie of the Mind), "Nina in the Morning", "Wanda's Visit", "Business Lunch at the Russian Tea Room", "Book of Leviticus Show", and "Naomi in the Living Room". The first six of these are considered the full length play Durang, Durang.
In a paragraph or two to hand in discuss Durang's use of Absurdist theatrical style in these plays.
This blog is designed for Rochester City School students at the School of the Arts in support of their classes: Playwriting & Film Studies.
