| This thesis attempts to document the research and process of the director for the production of The Bacchae of Euripides, translated and adapted by C.K. Williams, which appeared in the University Theatre, October 18-28, 1995. The thesis begins with an overview of the background material that the director found particularly helpful in achieving her vision of the play. It continues with a play analysis of the text, and then documents the pre-production process involved in putting a mainstage production together. Furthermore, it outlines the rehearsal period, including techniques and observations made by the director. Finally, the process is reviewed, in summary, with the perspective that time and distance lend. |
