The Collaborators Draw The Circle, Gary K. Lengel
The Collaborators Draw The Circle, Gary K. Lengel
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The mystical appeal of a circle reverberates throughout the practice of theatre: from the story circles of our ancestors echoing through the caves and across the ancient savannahs to the modern-day arena palaces that allow playwrights, directors, actors, producers, designers, craftspeople, and, ultimately audiences, to engage and embrace our retold truths, we face each other in circles.

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The given circumstances of the script and Petruchio are specific in choice, yet broad in interpretation.
