  2. The 6 Points • Plot • Character • Thought • Dialogue • Music • spectacle

  3. PLOT • The structure of the play • Made up of the basic aspects • Exposition • Discovery • Reversal • Point of attack • Foreshadowing • Complication • Climax • Crisis • denouement

  4. PLOT ON THE SIDE • Exposition-background • Discovery-recognition • Reversal-flaw causing reversal • Inciting incident-starts plot rolling • Foreshadowing-prepare action to follow • Complications-force that affects direction of the action • Climax-maximum disturbance of the equilibrium • Crisis-moments of decision • Denouement-final resolution of the plot

  5. CHARACTER • The “agents” of action, or those involved in the play • Defined by words and actions • Brought to life by the performers

  6. THOUGHT • The argument, theme, or root idea • Significance of the dialogue and action

  7. DIALOGUE • The language of the play • The dialogue must be speak-able and understandable • Tragedy and high comedy stress the verse and dialogue • Antigone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quLkooLxsO4

  8. MUSIC • All auditory aspects of the play-everything that is heard • Greek and oriental drama it is very important, other forms nearly incidental

  9. SPECTACLE • Visual element of the production-everything that is seen • Important in live theatre-most plays now are written to be seen • http://movies.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=70253398&trkid=13641907&t=Shrek%2Bthe%2BMusical&tctx=0%2C0%2C8202feb4-3994-44d8-b438-eab604916e8d-8501393

  10. “You have 2 kinds of shows on Broadway - revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion Kin a year in advance, and essentially a family comes as if to a picnic, and they pass on to their children the idea that that’s what the theatre is - a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theatre at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar. We live in a recycled culture…. I don’t think the theatre will die per se, but it’s never going to be what it was. You can’t bring it back. It’s gone. It’s a tourist attraction.” -Stephen Sondheim
