PROMPT BROKEN DOWN LINE BY LINE I have broken down the prompt line by line for you below…. How could you apply the qualities of Brechtian theater to a production of Macbeth? MEANING If you were directing a production of Macbeth (Must be Macbeth, not a different play), What are some ways in which you could direct the play in a Brechtian style? This is an imaginary production of which you would be the director. How would these Brechtian qualities influence the telling of the story in the production? MEANING Explain what Brechtian theater is, especially the qualities you will be using in your examples. Once you have provided these examples, you will also need to explain how these choices affect your production. Please support your essay with clear examples from the text, incorporating at least two design elements, vocabulary, and concepts we have discussed throughout the semester.
MEANING Each example should tie a Brechtian quality to a specific moment in the play. Within these examples you want to make sure you are including vocabulary about Brecht, and design elements. For example, if you are talking about lighting design, what is some vocabulary that we have learned that you could use? Or is there some other vocabulary that naturally ties into how you’re discussing your example?
