module 4 discussion 4 Adventures of Philip Marlowe, English homework help

Directions: In addition to the traditional readings in Module 4, there are also links to audio archives of different types of drama. Listen to at least one episode of the radio drama series Adventures of Philip Marlowe. Reflect on the differences in reading a play silently in print versus reading it out loud versus seeing it performed live on stage. How does how we see, read and/or hear drama shape the understanding we can achieve? What might readers miss out on by experiencing the play in one form or another? In a post of at least five sentences, compare and contrast what you think the advantages and disadvantages are of two of the following types of dramatic production:

• dramatic scripts (written drama)
• radio drama
• drama for live theater
• drama for video recording (as in film or television)
