For this assignment you will attend a live performance of either Fat HamLinks to an external site. at Seattle Rep, running Apr. 12-May12, 2024, OR the UW School of Drama’s production of The Adding MachineLinks to an external site., running May 23-Jun2 2, 2024, and write a professional style performance review about the production.
Performance Review Submission Guidelines
Performance reviews should be written in clear, effective prose. Reviews should emphasize analysis of the production with a minimum of plot summary (no plot summary is necessary for often produced, well-known plays). The review might address the significance of production vis-à-vis its historical moment, performers, director, design, playwright, style, or its audience. A review might consider a play’s production values or emphasize the importance of a performance event with regard to its cultural, political, or historical context.
Length: Reviews should run 800-1000 words in length. A word count should be provided at the top of the first page. Reviews exceeding these word counts will generally be returned to the author for revision. This can delay the publication of the review.
Format:
Reviews should be double-spaced, on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper. Indent each new paragraph. Do not include extra spaces between paragraphs
Review Headings: Type heading double-spaced. Type the play title in BOLDFACE CAPS, followed by the playwrights’ name, and the name of the director. Next, type the production company’s name, name of the theatre, city, state or country, and the date the production was seen (day, month, year). Follow this example:
UNCLE VANYA. By Anton Chekhov. Directed by Janis Benny. Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Angus Bowmer Theatre, Ashland, OR. 12 August 1998.
Review Signatures: Type your name in BOLDFACE CAPS at the end of the review, with your institution, position, or place of residence italicized below. Set these two lines against the right-hand margin, thus:
JULIA A. WALKER
Washington University in St. Louis
Stylistic Matters: Italicize play titles throughout the text. Refer to yourself in the first person, not as “the reviewer” or “this writer.” Avoid quotation marks and italics except where absolutely necessary. Remain as consistent in tense as good sense permits, remembering that the production may be closed by the time your review appears. Proofread your draft carefully, paying special attention to correct spelling of proper names and titles.
