Abstract

1) This Capstone is culmination of all that I have learned about theater in London and at WPI. I plan to do research on how to write a satirical play and what makes satirical plays such a success. Then I will create my own satirical play on the types of tourists one may see while adventuring throughout the streets of London. Its a fun way to tie together theater and my adventures in London with some comic relief. 2) At WPI I took two theater classes in my A and B term with Professor Susan Vick and Professor Barbara McCarthy. In my Introduction to Drama class, I preformed several lines from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing as well as wrote a 5 minuet monologue which was preformed by another student for the class. In my American Drama class, several classmates and I preformed the chaotic dinner scene from August: Osage County for the class. In all, I have very limited experience preforming in and writing play scripts.

3) your major takeaways from the experience. This can and should be very similar to the paragraph you use to summarize this milestone on your Profile Page. It should contain your main Objective, so be sure to clearly state a one-sentence statement that summarizes your main objective for this milestone such as "a comparison of the text of Medieval English choral music to that of the Baroque" or it may be a question such as "to what extent did religion influence Christopher Wren's sense of design?"
