<br/><br/> 'How to Teach a Play' provides a new generation of teachers with the tools to develop their students' performative imagination. This collection of teaching exercises, written by internationally-renowned drama scholars, offers effective teaching methods for 75 of the most commonly taught plays, ranging from classical drama through to contemporary plays by Tony Kushner, Paula Vogel and Suzan-Lori Parks. Grounded in research of the playwright's work, the exercises illuminate the performance elements or attributes of specific scenes, while also showing how that performance element illuminates the thematic meaning of the play as a whole. Because each teaching exercise is written as an instructional guide that is accessible and jargon-free, the teacher can immediately apply the activity to practice in the classroom.
