Post-World War II
Theatre
brought in many more forms of
theatre
. One such form was called
Theatre
of the Absurd, which basically is defined by its title -
theatre
that is not what people would normally expect. It's unusual,
different and, at times...yes, absurd. Of course, it wasn't just
Albert Camus or Samuel Beckett that was writing for this new
kind of
theatre
experience. More traditional writers, like Arthur Miller and
Tennessee Williams, were taking the same concept and bringing
it to their works.
For this journal assignment, read the play
Waiting for Godot
(a link to both parts is provided below and is also found under
the button Readings/Links) or watch the full play on
YouTube
(link below and also found under Videos/Link) to better
understand what this kind of
theatre
was all about (i.e. the
dialogue
, theme or message). It's absurd alright, but what is it about?
Also, view the additional clip -
Waiting for Elmo
- to see
just how influential this play was.
For your journal, answer the following question:
what should the audience patron
, who is seeing this kind of
theatre
supposed to think
when they leave the
theatre
? (what is it about? war, humanity, religion?)
include
your own thoughts and interpretations
of this new style of
theatre
as a journal or diary entry. The Journal Assignment should be
one page long, approximately 350-400 words minimum. Be
careful of spelling, grammar, capitalization, and
punctuation...proofread and edit your work as necessary. If
including another video or
internet
link, please cite your sources. This assignment will be graded
according to the Journal Assignment Rubric (attached).

One such form was called Theatre of the Absurd, which basically is defined by its title - theatre that is not what people would normally expect. It's unusual, different and, at times...yes, absurd. Of course, it wasn't just Albert Camus or Samuel Beckett that was writing for this new kind of theatre experience.
