1. Marie de France’s “Bisclavret” is far more understated in its description of the werewolf than similar imagery in modern novels. One element of modern writing is an increased reliance on imagery rather than suggestion, and while the important element of “Bisclavret” is the theme rather than description, in modern works we tend to get both – consider the case of Professor Lupin from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The focus in “Bisclavret” is on the treachery of the wife and the knight, and the rectitude of the former baron. The narration in ...

Readers always want something good to happen in a story, and leading the story into murder and lies creates tension. It is similar in the Tell-Tale Heart.

The cover displays a rough cave like rocky texture with plenty of “caveman art”. The art implies the evolution of man from more primitive forms walking on all fours to intermediate forms with a bent back to the more evolved upright and seemingly complex modern man.

For my directing concept, I chose Martin McDonough's The Pillowman - the tale of Katurian, a horror story author who finds himself being arrested by a totalitarian police state for murders that closely follow his horrific short stories.

I believe this play would make a wonderful addition to any given season of Mosaic Theatre or any other participating and willing theater in the ...
