Interpreting the Play

Interpreting the Play

This week’s episode is an excerpt from Milton’s current script analysis class which gives us insight into how we might begin to approach a play, or any piece of text. Using one of his favorite examples, Clifford Odet’s The Country Girl, Milton introduces some fundamental principals of script analysis: the playwright writes out of his social circumstances; the playwright has something to say that is a reflection of the times in which he’s living; It’s our job to figure out: what is that reflection? What is that big idea that the playwright is trying to impart? What does he want us to consider? “Our job is to interpret the play, not play the part,” says Milton, “And you have to really think of it that way.” Have a question for Milton?
