About This Book

One type of analysis cannot fit every play, nor does one method of interpretation suit every theatre artist or collaborative team. This is the first text to combine traditional and non-traditional models, giving students a range of tools with which to approach different kinds of performance.

has 
similar 
structure: 
each 
cat 
tells 
his 
or 
her 
story 
through 
song 
and 
dance.
Remember 
that 
the 
chronological 
order 
of 
scenes 
does 
not 
automatically 
signal 
causal/linear 
plot; 
look 
to 
the 
connective 
tissue 
between 
scenes. 
Does 
one 
scene 
literally 
trigger 
the 
next, 
in 
causal 
relationship? 
For 
example 
in 
Machinal,
each 
scene 
depicts 
young 
woman’s 
journey 
through 
life, 
examining 
crit-
ical 
crossroads: 
her 
career, 
her 
life 
at 
home, 
her 
marriage, 
her 
motherhood, 
her 
affair, 
her 
trial, 
and 
her 
execution. 
The 
progres-
sion 
of 
scenes 
is 
chronological, 
but 
time 
is 
ill-defined, 
seemingly 
spanning 
several 
years. 
One 
scene 
does 
not 
necessarily 
trigger 
the 
next 
in 
tight 
cause-to-effect 
link, 
rather 
the 
connective 
tissue 
that 
holds 
the 
plot 
together 
is 
the 
theme 
or 
idea: 
despair,

Note
This 
is 
an 
example 
of 
an 
episodic 
plot, 
with 
central 
dominate 
idea. 
Circles 
are 
purposefully 
different 
sizes, 
to 
reflect 
variation 
in 
the 
episodes.
