"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." -- George Bernard Shaw
PS? If you took THR215 Dramatic Literature, you should sign for THR413 Playscript Analysis!
Featured Pages : Preface Subscribe to DramLit Forum! NEW : I placed some links into the popup window; the theory pages related to script analysis. We end up with the social (historical) commentaries on our reality (most recent titles like "How I Learned to Drive"). This is why I have a subtitle to Grammar of Drama: Script Analysis of the Last Century. SummaryThere are several way to go from here. Directing, Acting pages?QuestionsWhat's next? Well, I wrote drama pages for theatre majors; go to your directories -- acting, directing, film...

2004: I am tired of webpages. I am waiting for the time, when I can use them for writing, not notes. When? I don't know. Where is this time?
Not even on this PS page? Not even at the end of the journey through so many great plays? Something is wrong. The narrative should give a birth to itself!
Especially, the history of drama came to its post-historical phaze.
So, what was this 25 centuries long story about?
You never know what is enough, until you know what is more than enough. ~William Blake, Proverbs of Hell [ Read! ]
That's all!Curtain!... Well, I'm still working on the order of the reading (THR413 Playscript analysis). What should be read first -- Pirandello or Brecht?
How to jump to Absurd & Beckett?
When and how introduce the Postmodern?
How to link the critical readings with the plays?
Updates? Next time I teach this class...

Let me repeat myself (from Film600 and script.vtheatre.net):
Where teaching and studying (research) meet --
Theme-thought, according to different playwrights (Shakespeare, Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov and so on) and directors (Fillini, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Bergman pages).
Connections with other themes (list): family, gender and sex...
Finally, my own practical investigations: shows.vtheatre.net (only recently I began to make themes pages, Don Juan 2003, for example).
And the nonfiction (writing), of course: HIM, Father-Russia, PostAmeriKa, Self, POV, Tech (gatepages are in WRITE directory).
Yeah, yeah, there is more -- "philo" pages, metaphysics: in theatre theory directory, for instance (topics-bar: space, time and etc.)
The biggest question for myself -- am I commiting myself to write another textbook (Script Analysis for Actors and Directors)?
Questions? Write them down!
[very important questions I write in big letters -- and post them on the walls of my appartment!]
Or better, much better -- write the plays!
