Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:Theatre
is ephemeral (lasting only in the moment); even live television is typically recorded
and can be played back
The actors and audience are in the same room, making it more psychologically immediate
than film or television
Theatre is presented for a limited amount of people in a given performance, whereas film
and television can reach far more spectators
Theatre offers a three-dimensional experience, whereas even 3-D recorded media can
only mimic such an experience
Camera angles and close-ups gives the director total control over what the film and
television audiences sees; theatre spectators have much more freedom about where they
look
Theatre audiences have a much more active role than spectators of television and film
since they are always interacting directly with the performers and can therefore affect the
pace of the performance
Film is more literal than theatre, typically striving to display every detail of setting and
action, whereas theatre requires the audience to use its imagination to fill in gaps.



Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:The
play appealed to popular culture or more elitist tastes
The performance embraced a particular political ideology.
The play told a traditional beginning, middle, and end narrative, such as a play by Arthur
Miller, or had a more abstract form, such as Waiting for Godot
The piece used heightened language or the characters' diction was closer to everyday
speech.
Characters violated or reinforced established societal conventions such as gender roles
The design was stylized/exaggerated or the production elements looked and sounded
more like real life.
