The Plays we Worked on (Eight Weeks)

  1. Post Office (Bengali)
  2. Can't Pay, Won't Pay (Italian)
  3. Legends of Youth (Vietnamese) 
  4. The Measures Taken (German) 
"Post Office" was used for a project presentation which required writers to read the text in part in class, watch in performance, discuss the dramatic moments, analyse the dramatic technique - all leading to a final presentation and submission of the project in printed format. We discussed how this play became the mouthpiece of occupied France on the eve of German march into the streets of Paris. We used an English Translation of the play for our project work and discussion. 

"Can't Pay Won't Pay" was used for discussing how comedy can turn into a satire, revealing the incongruencies of a class-conscious society.
