Originally, I had Old Books Page in every major directory (Directing, Acting), later I had to open BOOKS directory for theatre and Film Books. Do not confuse them with the reading or recommended lists! Although I prefer to list the books I like.

Summary

"Modern Drama" (textbook): This comprehensive and balanced anthology offers a collection of 25 works of modern and contemporary drama from the 1870s through the early 1990s. Features twenty-five plays that often demonstrate a significant breakthrough in maturity of expression and style for each playwright — important leaders in the development of modern and contemporary drama.

No, I do not have my reviews on theatre books I read, but I use the quotations, references, some comments (mostly on the textbooks I use for classes).

Script Directory, Books

The pages in script.vtheatre.net are old, some belong to the "third" and some even to the "second" generation of my webpages. Update them I can, only while I teach drama classes; see you here in the Fall of 2004 and 2005.
* Theatre Books Directory (main) *

2004: I should try to use Bedford Intro to Drama in both classes: THR215 Dramlit and THR413 Plyascript Analysis (I can't cover all plays in one semester).

215: From the Greeks to Chekhov

413: From Chekhov to postmodern

Each class has its own main aim: DramLit = Grammar of Drama, Playscript = Theatre as Philosophy.

Expected that students take THR215 before they enroll in THR413!

Changes: in DramLit -- DVDs (12 Angry Men -- craft of drama, Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf -- characters, Mamet -- drama and acting?)

How to organize the viewing? Assignments with the fragments in class (order). (Dreams!)

Big issue for THR413 -- When can I introduce the "Plato Club" (critical readings of philosophy)?

* The shows I direct, while I teach class, are a part of required readings and reviews: "Shrew04" and "Oedipus X" (2004-2005 season) [see links and pix ].

From notes (for myself) page: my other directories do have assigned showcases (classic scripts); Stage Directing -- Hamlet, Method Acting -- 3 Sisters... Should I do the same with the drama classes? CaseStudy for Dramatic Literature -- Oedipus, Shrew, Pygmalion? Which is better to study "Grammar of Drama"?

ChekhovPages

Wilde
See scripts-online (public domain) in PLAYS directory!

Read "The Importance of Being Earnest" or other shows directory files.

Could be Wilde as useful for Modern and Postmodern talk as Chekhov was?

Please use the older Books directories and webpages, like Mining Film or Theatre Books (also, see the listing at the top).

12 Angry Men

I only hope that before THR215 Dramlit my students take THR200X Aesthetics (Arts through Movies), which I have no time to teach.

Shrew-Exter
[ "The Taming of the Shrew" is an "adaptation"... as well as "Oedipus X" -- but in drama classes we study the originals. ]
