Alan Ayckbourn/The Norman Conquests
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page essay that examines Alan Ayckbourn’s “The Norman Conquests” is a trilogy of plays: “Table Manners,” “Living Together,” and “Round and Round the Garden.” All three plays involve the same characters and the events of one weekend in July. However, each play tells the story of the weekend from a different location in the house and, therefore, from a different perspective. Examination of these three plays reveals the intricate way in which they are constructed and why this structure substantiates the position that the trilogy should be regarded as a single work. No additional sources cited.

Albee's "The Sandbox" - Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Edward Albee falls under a literary classification not many others have the privilege of inhabiting, inasmuch as the eclectic playwright harbors a special - if not wholly indefinable - talent for highlighting mankind's absurdity. The extent to which The Sandbox reflects the epitome of Albee's distinctive genre is both grand and far-reaching; that this particular story is steeped with vacuous characters who have nary an original thought in their collective heads whose interaction with one another amounts to little more than a spew of formulated truisms. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
