Here is what I have to do:
For this assignment, you are to come up with a play idea that is influenced by some other piece of art. The influencing piece can be visual (painting, sculpture, photograph, etc.), or musical (songs, musical style, etc.). It should NOT be something narrative (i.e. another play, novel, movie,etc.). The idea is to take something non-narrative and create a narrative from it.
Please note that the assignment is not asking you to WRITE a play. Rather, your task is to describe the play that you would write under the influence of whatever visual or musical piece you choose.
Your essay should include the following:
* a list of characters
* a description of the setting as it would appear onstage
* a detailed summary of the action of the play, from beginning to end
The purpose of this assignment is to experiment with the concept of influence, and to attempt to think from the perspective of a playwright beginning to work on a new play.
