Agamemnon: Day 2 (Conclusion); Play Project Writing

We will complete our viewing of Peter Hall's production of Agamemnon. You should refer to your script with any questions about the play or its episodes. Analysis viewing sheets are due by the end of class! Please make sure you turn them in if you want credit for this open-book/film test. No late work accepted (unless you are absent).

With time remaining in class, please continue working on your one-act play script projects. As you write, review advice, articles, and assignments from the beginning of this course. Your work should reflect what you have learned about playwriting and writing for the theater!

HOMEWORK:  Continue your one-act play project. Use your sketched outline (see the assignment in the posts below) and, using at least one of Polti's 36 Dramatic Situations, write a one-act play. Your play draft will be due the week we get back from Winter Break (Jan. 2).
