PLAYWRITING – Day 26

2 hour delay today – shortened classes = approx.45 minutes each.

Followup to yesterday’s drawings - Using Knott’s introduction, we drew a picture of the stage for Dial M for Murder. Noted how different the interpretations were and why. Discussed the importance of getting the actors on the set in order to see if the set pieces would work with the script or if they would need to be altered in any way.

Began reading screenplay of Dial M for Murder (also by Frederick Knott)
