Little Theater and American Avant Garde: Crash Course Theater #40

[@curiousKuro16]

I remember reading Triffles on school! It's a good play and very compelling.

My sister got to play the role of the stage manager in Thornton Wilder's “Our Town” her senior year. She had so much fun with it, man I wish they filmed it so we can relive the memories.

“Boooring”- Mike. Puns, he’s got them!

[@Tokuijin]

The more I think about it, the more I sympathize with the Minnie character in _Trifles_ . Her husband did more than kill the bird 🐦, he killed _Minnie_ , too, as his cruelty destroyed her, killing that bird really did it.

[@thebeatisdead]

Cool the USA theater (when it finally got good) had active female playwrights and female focus stories.

[@FalbertForester]

... Timing! All through this. Good job, Mike (and writers!)

[@vrixphillips]

Personally, I think O'Neill's masterpiece is his civil-war era rewriting of The Oresteia. It's absolutely fabulous. And there's a movie version too!

[@brianamitchell5475]

so excited for next week!

[@JDoors]

"American theater took a long time to get … good." [But popular with the public] "New plays we want to talk about in depth came out [presumably finally "good"]." [Rejected by audiences and critics alike] Hmm ...

[@Richforce1]

Looking forward to Tennessee Williams.

[@alg11297]

Great stuff. Why do all the historical characters have blue faces and look sickly.?

[@LindsayTVFilm]

I agree with O’neil, America is a failure

[@brandonburrell8517]

I am no longer supporting Patreon because of their banning of personalities that they disagree with. If there is another service that you use, let me know.

[@southerneskimo8931]

Second too tf

[@stormelemental13]

With every episode of this series I watch, the more I come to despise modern theater, especially the playwrights. A dungsweeper would be more useful to society.

[@BRockandriffs]

Eric Taysom why do you feel this way?

[@Tfin]

Don't apply your modern morals and sensibilities to what isn't modern. You can't say a play is not good for no reason other than that it has racist content. It is certainly possible that each and every performance was bad, but it should not be taken for granted that such was the case merely because they featured something that is now viewed with displeasure.

[@southerneskimo8931]

First yay!
