Please turn in your homework (see previous post for details).
In groups of 4-5 please discuss the play China Doll. Compare China Doll to Talking With, Spic-o-Rama, The Vagina Monologues, and Monster. How is it similar or different? Discuss what contemporary issues or ideas you have noticed in these plays. Brainstorm ideas for your own one-person monologue play. Who would be your main character? What themes would you tackle? How might you frame or structure the play? Each member of your group should offer ideas and get feedback from the group.
After your discussion, please do one of two tasks:
A. Continue working on your eLearning Module 1, or
B. Read Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
HOMEWORK: Please read Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Be prepared to take a quiz on the play, particularly on the topic of how this play compares/contrasts to the monologue plays you have already read, how it incorporates poetry and music, deals with contemporary themes, and creates a unique opportunity for a performer. You should be able to apply the literary sign-posts to this play as well, finding examples in the text.
