New WorksWe heard Part II of Tom's farce about Jung and Freud called Just a Cigar. We heard a 10-minute play from Amy called The Course We Set. And Jan brought in a period piece about two of Cleopatra's attendants called Cleo's Girls. DiscussionEach of the plays provoked some insightful discussion. Here are some of the highlights: - on meaning: Is it effective in a short piece to leave the meaning open-ended and to leave questions unresolved? Is it necessary for a play to have an intellectual meaning, or can the meaning reside in the feeling that it evokes in the audience?
- on scenes with complicated action: we discussed the necessity of getting a scene up on its feet to make sure there is a good balance between the length of the dialogue and the timing of the stage action.
- on language: we discussed how period pieces can open up possibilities of using language, epic themes and rhythms that sometimes play false with a modern context.
