Theatre Production Styles – Drama is art, not accident. Not types of plays, but production of plays – elements of production include acting, sets, costumes, lights, sound, spectacle Representational ------------------------------- Presentational Naturalism: Realer than real, slice of life. Think David Beslasco’s Diner set with real stoves and running water Realism: Scenery represents real life but is accommodated for the stage – living room, office – set represents something in play Theatricalism: It’s a play, okay? No pretense! The stage is the set of the play and the play is directed out to the audience. Presents, rather than represents. Expressionism: Reveals the emotions of the characters in all elements Goes with absurdist or sentimental drama Classicism: Imitates Greek or Roman plays deliberately; utilizes the 3 unities: 1. The unity of action: a play should have one main action that it follows, with no or few subplots. 2. The unity of place: a play should cover a single physical space and should not attempt to compress geography, nor should the stage represent more than one place. 3. The unity of time: the action in a play should take place over no more than 24 hours. Romanticism Strong emotion, but hopeful, fanciful, optimistic
