BE the CRITIC!
See a performance of a live theatrical production! You are required to write a three-page DOUBLE SPACED paper. I expect your papers to be solidly constructed with proper sentence and paragraph structure as well as grammatical correctness. It is a completely subjective essay, and it should express your critical opinion on the play as you experienced it.
Consider the following:
a. Was it a good play? Why?
b. Discuss the elements of production you witnessed; the set, lights, sound, costumes and props.
c. What messages, themes and points of view did the play express? Give examples.
Remember the three key questions our textbook asks to define a good critique:
What was the production trying to achieve?
Was the attempt successful? Was it worthwhile?
GOOD LUCK & Have FUN!!
