Historical Fiction: Elements, Context, and Language

How do we identify the various elements of historical fiction during text preparation: style, character, dialogue, setting, theme, and social norms?

  • How do we bring the social, historical, and political mores and ideas of the book’s era into our performances?

  • How do we make unfamiliar, stylized, or heightened language personal to you and accessible to a contemporary audience?

Text will be assigned for this class with scenes from a number of time periods and sub genres in historical fiction with an opportunity as always for everyone to read with feedback and direction.

Class is $99, Payable via Zelle (703-861-4261). Or check. (Zelle is preferred if possible.)

Come play!
