Most students encounter drama as they do poetry and fiction - as
literature to be read - but never experience the performative
nature of theater. How to Teach a Play provides new strategies for
teaching dramatic literature and offers practical, play-specific
exercises that demonstrate how performance illuminates close
reading of the text. This practical guide provides a new generation
of teachers and theatre professionals the tools to develop their
students' performative imagination. Featuring more than 80
exercises, How to Teach a Play provides teaching strategies for the
most commonly taught plays, ranging from classical through
contemporary drama. Developed by contributors from a range of
disciplines, these exercises reveal the variety of practitioners
that make up the theatrical arts; they are written by playwrights,
theater directors, and artistic directors, as well as by dramaturgs
and drama scholars. In bringing together so many different
perspectives, this book highlights the distinctive qualities that
makes theater such a dynamic genre. This collection offers an array
of proven approaches for anyone teaching drama: literature and
theater professors; high school teachers; dramaturgs and directors.
Written in an accessible and jargon-free style, both instructors
and directors can immediately apply the activity to the classroom
or rehearsal. Whether you specialize in drama or only teach a play
every now and again, these exercises will inspire you to modify,
transform, and reinvent your own role in the dramatic arts. Online
