How each specific theatre form or drama was created reflecting the culture, people, history, or politics of
that society and time period.
How the two theatre forms or dramas are different or similar to each other.
How these two theatre forms or dramas have enriched the world theatre and drama into the future for the
a global community in the 21st Century.
Use the MLA style documentation with annotated bibliography using a minimum of 3-5 sources. For
information on the annotated bibliography, check https://libguides.csun.edu/research-strategies/annotatedbibliography
No “tertiary sources or crowdsourcing encyclopedic sites” such as “Wikipedia” should be used.
Use only the “primary” and “secondary” sources such as the play texts, journal articles, reviews, books,
theses and dissertations.
