W. W. Jacobs wrote the short story “The Monkey’s Paw” in 1902. A great number of adaptations of the story have since been created using different forms of media.

Theatre History Explained Neil Fraser outlines the history of theatre from Greek and Roman times, all the way through the twentieth century. Fraser makes a claim that theatre truly began in Greek culture with even the Roma’s looking upon that time as “the golden age”. “The Romans looked back on Greek theatre of circa 600BC as a golden age, and we can still make a case for the great plays of that period as having never been bettered.” (Fraser, 2004, pg.5).

The plays that I chose to see were Balm in Gilead and Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins. These two plays were very different, one play had many different people talking at the same time and the other play was a one woman show.

Everything was calm at the table until Poussin said in a drunken rage “I believe my art is better than all of yours’ because I show the true drama between men.” Turner replied “your art only shows the pity drama between men, while I show the drama between nature to create a message to the viewer.” Agnes butted in and said “even though I don’t convey drama, I use the earth to create my art.”

In the era of the Enlightenment, many philosophers were creating their own understanding of how the individuals of society function and the purpose of existence; one of these philosophers was Socrates.

features of modern theatre with their Greek counterparts, ancient theatre was a very different animal. You will be surprised at how much Ancient Greece has influenced us today.
