SHAW AROUND THE GLOBE

As it suggests, this section is about considering Shaw’s reception and ongoing global performance history. Focusing on stagecraft and his ongoing political and cultural relevance, it assesses and demonstrates Shaw’s contemporary impact.

SHAW AROUND THE GLOBE: AN ACTIVITY

Part 1: You have been assigned an open-ended project on an English language dramatist. You choose Bernard Shaw. Review the links above. From link to link, look for the recurrence of critical observations and evaluations of his work. Look for cross cultural connections. On the basis of your findings post a rationale for choosing Shaw.

Part 2: Consider your rationale in light of the fact that he is broadly translated and globally performed. Post a research question for your potential project that integrates your rationale and the scope of Shaw’s relevance and appeal.

Part 3: Complete and post the PROJECT TEMPLATE found in the appendix.

Part 4: Review the post of another student.

Part 5: Develop two potential research questions that they may want to consider in the course of their project development. Make sure these questions require elaboration and thoughtful response.
