What am I doing?
Where am I?
Where do I come from?
How do I move and speak?
What are my given circumstances? (For example: I can see the future, but since I was cursed by Apollo when I rejected him, no one believes me.)
What are my obstacles to getting what I want?
What tactics, or strategies, will I use to overcome them?
What are my relationships?
What must I have without which I cannot survive?
You may add an appendix with images or other relevant materials, if you’d like.
DIRECTOR’S APPROACH
Why choose this play?
Why stage it right here, right now?
Who’s our audience?
What themes resonate with me?
What story do I want to tell with this text?
How can I explain the vision inside my head so all my collaborators will understand me?
How can I describe my stylistic choices?
What “take-away” message or idea do I want to leave with our audience?
What makes this play theatrical (i.e., suited to live performance rather than TV or film)?
Does the play need to be transplanted? If so, why?
Please include a “scored” copy of a sample scene from the play you have chosen. Photocopies are fine. You may add an appendix with images or other relevant materials, if you’d like.

Why stage it right here, right now?

What story can I suggest the director tell with this text?
How can I describe the director’s stylistic choices?
What “take-away” message or idea can I suggest the director leave with our audience?

What are the play’s biggest challenges?
What can I do to help the director develop a clear vision for the play and articulate it consistently?
What cuts might be necessary?
What’s the context for this play (historical, cultural, artistic, political, social, religious)?
What kind of research can I provide to help the company understand the world of the play? (Examples include: a glossary, articles, images, maps, songs, movies, etc.)
If the play is being transplanted by the director, does this choice make sense throughout? Can I track the director’s choices as probable and necessary all the way through the play?
