Exercises

1

Look at the endings of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, Paula Vogel’s How I Learned To Drive, and Polly Stenham’s That Face. Then go back and trace the themes in the three plays, analyzing how the authors came to those endings and what those endings accomplish.

2

For the same three plays, what three different endings could you construct and how would that change the meaning of the plays?

3

Write a poem based on something you feel passionate about. Then take the last line and write it as a last scene in a screenplay or play, fashioning the backstory based on the rest of your poem. Is it possible you may have the idea for a new dramatic piece here?
