Fall 2003: Modern Drama: Selected Plays from 1879 to the Present Walter Levy, Pace University ISBN: 0-13-226721-7 Prentice Hall Paper; 985 pp Published: 10/21/1998
I made "books" pages in each directy for my min-reviews on what I read.
notes
Featured Pages: Write Directory Links Script/Drama The Dramatist's Toolkit Art Of Dramatic Writing It would be nice to have not only books, but videos and CDs listings, but I tried only with the Shakespeare on the screen -- and gave up. 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.
NEW:
to use Bar, Themes, Subject.txt files as I plan to use topics.txt?
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.

* 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"?
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?

I only hope that before THR215 Dramlit my students take THR200X Aesthetics (Arts through Movies), which I have no time to teach.
[ "The Taming of the Shrew" is an "adaptation"... as well as "Oedipus X" -- but in drama classes we study the originals. ]
