You will need to write a comprehensive final paper which demonstrates your knowledge of a specific area of
theatre history before 1650. But before you begin to write your final paper, you must submit a 4 page written
proposal so that I have an idea about what you are going to be addressing.
Here are some suggestions for research areas:
· Select a particular period which interests you, and discuss how the politics and culture of that time
affected and informed the types of plays which were written. Were the playwrights writing in a
period of freedom or restriction? What are some examples of these?

· Look at a playwright we have studied, or another pre-1650 playwright, and compare two or more of
his/her works. What are some similarities? Differences? Are there easily recognizable traits or
themes which the playwright addresses in his/her work?
· Select a significant individual (actor, director, designer, playwright) from before the Restoration, and
discuss his or her contributions to the world of theatre. Do not limit yourself to a biography; instead,
I ask that you look to see how his/her work has reverberated throughout history. Examine what
effect s/he has had on other artists.
· What are some technological advancements which have contributed to theatre as we know it?
Once you have decided on a topic, please submit a 1 – 2 page written proposal. This proposal must identify the
need, motive, or logic behind the work you are undertaking. You must address the significance of what you are
doing. In other words, why is this particular topic worthy of study? In addition to your thesis statement, please
submit a bulleted outline of your research topic.
You must identify four legitimate research sources (i.e.: book titles, journal articles, etc.) you will be using to
help you write your paper. Please limit internet sources to only one reliable website only. These sources will
appear at the end of your paper as a Works Cited page.
Do not limit your research to a Google search. You will be marked down considerably for this. It is advised
that you ask a librarian for assistance in obtaining legitimate research sources. Look for books or articles which
have been published in scholarly journals. Wikipedia, Sparknotes and Gradesaver, encyclopedia.com (and
similar sites) are NOT acceptable websites for you to utilize in this paper. Your grade will be lowered by
20 points if you utilize any of the above sources.
