Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Miami University, Theatre.
This thesis presents an approach to dramaturgical analysis for trial-based playscripts based on the works of Oscar Lee Brownstein, a textually based dramaturg, and Thadeusz Kowzan, a theatrical semiotician. The thesis then applies this pairing of dramaturgical approaches to three separate plays based on the original transcript of the trial of Jeanne d'Arc. By analyzing each play individually using these paired approaches, the different way each play works becomes more apparent. The three plays were written by the author of this thesis in conjunction with the thesis in order to illustrate the benefits of the pairing of these two dramaturgical approaches. These three playscripts are presented in their entirety in the back matter of the thesis.
