This week’s writing assignment has only one part rather than a Part A and a Part B. I’m going to copy and paste the prompt here. For this week’s discussion, please draft the introductory paragraph to your Writing Assignment.

Here’s the prompt:

Using 300 – 400 words, describe how you would direct a version of either Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex or William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Name which play you have chosen. What would be your central theme or image? Where and when would your version of the play take place? (If you don’t want to modernize this production, explain why.) What would the set look like? What kind of costumes would the actors wear? What contemporary actors would you cast in major roles in your version of this play?
