Summary

I am tired of doing so much work on the web. Should I make it my last web-casebook for production notes? I do not have time to finish my past casestudy projects: 3 sisters, Hamlet, 12th Night...

"The Shrewing"

The Tamer Tamed : John Fletcher, Shakespeare’s contemporary, responds to The Taming of the Shrew 20 years later with this startling comedy. Petruchio, of former Taming fame, is tying the knot for the second time. After his tempestuous life with his first wife Kate, Petruchio looks forward to a bit of peace and quiet with young Maria. In the nick of time between wedding and bedding, Maria, inspired by Bianca (former bubble-head, now Supreme Commander of the women’s movement) puts on the brakes. No consummation without representation. Inspired by Aristophanes' Lysistrata, this rarely performed play was recently the hit of the season at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The faming: induction and the ending? Transition from actors to characters!

Grumio, played by "Shakespeare"...

We return to "theatre space" ("Globe" style set).

The show should start and end with the public.

How? Cameras?

SHOWs NOTEBOOKs = My Director's Notes and Scrapbook:

- Primary Bibliography: Writings by Chekhov

- Secondary Bibliography: Reviews

- Secondary Bibliography: Books, Articles, Sections

- Author Index: Secondary Bibliographies

- General Index [ 3 Sisters + Farces (sample) ]

* There must be another way to arrange the webpages for "after-the-show" life. Which class I should consider for this casestudy? Film Directing? "translation of the play into screen play? How can I document the process?

Analysis > visualization. Tasks for film directing students, lists.

To use "playwright" pages I have? In Plays, SCRIPT and WRITE directories.
