I was really glad to have worked on a production of Mother Courage (speaking of Brecht). It's Quine the chewy play, and not so simple as to just be anti-war.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!
We did a fair amount of play-reading at my high school because I was in accelerated and my teacher was the drama teacher. But mostly, besides the yearly Shakespeare, it was "Picnic" or "Death of a Salesman" or something like that.

I know some people here HATE Luhrmann, but using his R+J in conjunction with reading the play made it so much easier and fun for my students. Especially since most of my students were Latino.
I also used Branaugh's Hamlet (parts of it, it is so long for a classroom viewing) and they like the Opelia scenes, the ghost scenes, and the swordfight a lot.
Lawrence Fishburne's Othello, which I just LURVE. AlthoughI got tired of hearing "Hey, it's that guy from The Matrix!" I always think of him as "Gina Torres' husband."

Typo or extremely clever reference? Quine on Brecht would make for an interesting conversation.

I just remember him as Larry Fishburne from She's Gotta Have It.

You could have got away with claiming genius instead.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I think all other drama is undertaught.
amych is my hero!
I love that I get to expose my students to so many different kinds of theatre. The school just keeps trying to force me into a box that I'm not comfortable with.
Here we are getting into a discussion that is perfect for me and I have to go do some things with DH. Sigh...such is my life.
