Wright Doug. “ I Am My Own Wife”, 2013 TDGE 11 Spring Quarter 2018 Response Paper #1 Prompt: Queer Plays ***DUE WEDNESDAY, MAY 9TH AT 11:59PM VIA TRITONED So far this quarter we have focused on queer performances in film. For this response paper you will turn to queer theatre. Below is a list of five plays which deal with issues of queerness. With the exception of Cloud 9, these are all recent plays (and despite being 39 years old, Cloud 9 is still very timely). Choose one play and write a 700-1000 word response. You are encouraged to discuss the course’s guiding questions, but focus more on the topics the play is presenting and analyzing. Course Questions: Who is being represented? How are they being represented? Who is being obscured or forgotten? Who is the intended audience? How do these performances fall into or challenge stereotypes and established tropes? If you are not used to analyzing a play, look in the “Additional Readings” on TritonEd, on or after April 29th for a worksheet to help you organize aspects of the play you choose. I hope this worksheet will be helpful. I have also included links to trailers to productions of these plays in order to help you get a sense of the tone and style of the play, the set and characters (Do not analyze these clips in your paper). As with the “Genre” prompt, I will provide some tips and guidance in lecture, Week 5. Note: All plays are available electronically if you are unable to get to a bookstore or are concerned about a paperback being delivered in time. I encourage you to come to office hours or email me (kraphael@ucsd.edu) to discuss the play and your analysis as you form your paper.

Do have a creative title for your paper. 2. Do have a thesis - doesn’t have to be 1 sentence. 3. Don’t include a plot summary. Assume the reader has watched the film. Include plot details and scene descriptions only as supporting material for larger claims. 4. Don’t write a research paper. You may do research and bring outside sources if you find that helpful, but this should not be a focus of your response paper. 5. Do not write a 5 paragraph essay. Paragraphs are an important way of organizing arguments but a 5 paragraph essay is an artificial high school format. 6. Provide specific examples and describe specific scenes in detail in order to support your analysis. 7. Use proper citations in your paper.
