Shоrt Essаys: Pleаse аnswer ONE оf the fоllowing questions with brief essay responses (Five complete paragraphs minimum). [1 at 40 points] Imagine that you are a Hollywood screenwriter…create a pitch for the Networks executives and producers on a sitcom, or film, based upon Euripides’ Medea. How would you update, or adapt, the themes of Euripides’ Greek Tragedy for a 21st Century audience? You must choose a target demographic (i.e. Adults aged 25-45, -or-, Students aged 12-18). Create a setting for the updated production, detail your chosen plot structure, and suggest possible actors to play the major roles and explain thoroughly all of your choices. Your essay, while you are encouraged to be as a creative as possible, will be graded on your specific examples and descriptions that support your “pitch”. Please feel free/encouraged to utilize anything we’ve discussed in our class regarding theatre history and literature to justify your choices. Theatre often centers on the individual attempting to define themselves and the reality of the world within which they exist. Using Oedipus Rex, Lysistrata, or La vida es sueño (Life is a Dream) compare and contrast at least two main characters from two separate plays and how their dramatic conflict depicts the individual defining themselves and their reality within society. How are they used by their respective playwrights to express the struggle of the individual? What can you determine from your chosen play as to the concept of the individual in the respective society they were first performed? Finally, would the individual characters you selected still be relevant (or relatable) to a contemporary audience of your peers? Aristotle named “Spectacle” as sixth in his hierarchy of the formal parts of Tragedy. Why did he place this element so low? Using either Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth or The Tempest, make an argument as to why “spectacle” should be considered a more important element in theatre today and where in the hierarchy would you place it? What specifically in Shakespeare’s plays leads you to believe that Shakespeare did not necessarily agree with Aristotle’s hierarchy? Are there other plays by Shakespeare or his contemporaries that would support your argument? Please feel free to use any of the other plays we’ve read to further support your argument.
