The Status of Italian Renaissance Actors:
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which examines the popular status
of Italian Renaissance actors. Commedia dell'arte
was separate from amateur drama because of the high
level of performances. Every aspect of the drama
was top of the line from the scripts to the
costumes to performers, who might play the same
role throughout their lives. Although the older
form of this street theater had originated with
morality plays, these comedies were very different.

Eugene O'Neill's Beyond The Horizon
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Expressing one's feelings on family relationships, love, predestination and following dreams is not such an unusual occurrence; that is, of course, unless one is doing so in the early part of the twentieth century. Back during the time Eugene O'Neill wrote his groundbreaking play Beyond The Horizon, these issues were dealt with in the privacy of one's own thoughts. It was highly irregular to delve into such concentrated and personal subjects as these, especially in front of strangers. However, O'Neill recognized the need to address the sometimes more difficult aspects of life, which he achieved so eloquently in Beyond The Horizon. The writer offers a critical analysis of the play. No additional sources cited.

"Amy's View" by David Hare. 1998.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) David Hare's 1998 play, "Amy's View," is a
drama based on the need, and the nature of theater.
With that in mind we might expect characters to
be symbolic, as well portray their fictional role.
Like all fiction there may be some difference
of opinion as to who is the most important
character in the play. These symbolic references
in "Amy's View" will form the core of this
discussion.
