"Piece in progress" : writing, producing and performing a new play, "All of a piece"
Abstract
My thesis consists of two principle chapters: Writing the Play and Performing the Play. In the former, I have tried to distill the process of creating the story and characters, constructing the dialogue, and shaping the whole of the written piece. In the latter, I have tried to do the same for the process of rehearsing and performing the play in the context of the David Mark Cohen New Works Festival in the Department of Theatre and Dance.
