Drama Theory - Irish Theatre (1 Viewer)

[Blondie]

Erg, I need help with the theory!
I'm doing Irish as my "Studies in Drama" part of the course, and I'm trying to make study notes. My problem is with the headings. What exactly are we supposed to know? What i mean is, is it dramatic forms & conventions, thematic concerns, etc. Are they it, and what else?
Erg HELP!

Thanks

Ok... heres just a little help.
Well thematic considerations and dramatic forms and conventions are correct, so your on the right track. Look at things like dialogue, characters, form eg. realism, surrealism etc., stage directions, plot and structure. Hope that might help, what I find really hard about the Irish section is that it is only new and I am not sure what they are going to ask us. What kind of question were you asked in the trial???

we were asked something about how the plays create their "irishness" or something. its crappy, really.
