Write a successful play essay.

Whether it's for exam or coursework, essays based on plays can pose special difficulties. Poetry essays can be difficult because the poems are often tough to interpret; novels can be difficult because they are l-o-n-g; but plays are difficult because they are performed as well as heard: they are written for the stage, not the page.

Answer 2

First, figure out what play you are going to focus on.  I know Shakespeare is a pain to write essays let alone speeches about, but you need to relax.  Try Romeo and Juliet.  Shakespeare wouldn't necessarily have to speak in the speech, and pretend you were actually there.  Start out with walking into the theatre, seeing the play, and then reflect on what it was like.  Your thesis should be the main point.  In this case, what did you learn, and how did it connect to what you said in the speech.  Good luck!
