**********************************************
PLAYWRITING – Day 28
Discuss “The Sure Thing” by David Ives (1988) and our
attempts to mimic its bell-ringing theatricality.
Take
out your “bell-ringing” scripts from Friday…continue working on them.
Took notes
on the meaning of theatricality and dramatization and what it looks like on
stage:
4 Steps of
Dramatization
- Situation
– A young man is killed in a hold-up.
- Conflict
– (real or imagined) – gets sued – young man kills brother - suspect gets
away – no evidence – suspect threatens young man’s family – suspect
kidnaps family member of young man – young man’s identity is stolen –
- Character’s journey – the killer decides to turn himself in –
- Add theatricality – The murder is remembered and re-enacted onstage from various witnesses.
With
each of our stories (last night’s homework), we identified the situation,
conflict (real or imagined), journey, and theatricality

Continue
working on your “bell-ringing” scripts from Friday.
