The document discusses Brechtian and dramatic theatre techniques. Brechtian theatre aims to make the audience observers rather than allowing them to emotionally engage with the story. It uses techniques like narrators, characters taking on multiple roles, and non-realistic movements. The goal is to get the audience to think critically about the issues rather than feel emotionally invested. Dramatic theatre brings events to life and makes the audience feel emotionally involved in the story as it happens.

Background Story
(Exposition)
We must adjust the way we read a play. The notion that what has already happened is dull and unexciting must be set aside. After all,
for the characters themselves, it is just the opposite. To them, the past is not dull and unexciting, but rather their own lives – everything good and bad that has happened to them.
James Thomas
To Reveal the Past!
Playwrights employ a unique kind of narration to reveal the past while the stage action continues to advance.
Exposition (Most Common Term)
Antecedent
Previous Action
Background Story
Understanding the past is an integral part of the play not a clumsy encumbrance. It helps create:
Mood / Atmosphere
Generates conflicts
Strongly influences environment and Given Circumstances
Clarifies relationships and the Environmental Analysis
(Potentially)Propels action forward in explosive surges
(Potentially)Increases the sense of urgency for the play/scene
Technique
Background stories tend to appear in three ways:
In extended passages near the beginning of the play
- HISTORICAL
In fragments distributed throughout the action
- MODERN
Or buried beneath the onstage action
- MINIMILIST (VEILED)
Historical Technique
In classic plays, those written before the rise of realism, the background story tend to appear in extended passages near the beginning of the play and at the end of scenes to reveal more about the previous action.
Advantages:
Collects essential facts and focuses attention on key elements at the beginning of the play
Allows playwright to spend more time on developing the action through the play
Establishes clear storytelling elements for the audience early on
Disadvantages:
- Long speeches at the beginning can be a drag for the audience at the beginning of plays
Modern Technique
- In the early part of the nineteenth century a man named Eugene Scribe, a scientist by trade, developed the playwritings style of the well made play. Scribe Began to employ the then novel principle of cause and effect into his plays with the intention to make the accidental seem necessary. Time, place and action were to operate according to scientific rules. The well made play has influenced modern playwrights since Ibsen, Shaw, Chekhov, Strindberg, Miller, Williams, O’Neill.
Well made plays employ some background story at the beginning of the play as in classic plays, but now, much of it is evenly distributed throughout the play with more characters revealing differing parts of the background story and is always used for maximum effect to the action
This cause and effect way of working is called the RETROSPECTIVE METHOD:
The onstage action moves forward in time as the past moves backward in time

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
