The yellow boat

Abstract

Story telling is an essential part of every culture. The movies, plays, and books that we love become a distinct part of our lives. Often, we do not realize the copious amounts of work that go into telling a story. An analysis of a production of the play The Yellow Baal; by David Sarr, directed by myself, will show how knowledge from my content classes and outside research were used in order to tell an effective, coherent story. In this thesis, I will document the process from beginning to end. I will start with the development of a central concept and show how all the other elements of the production are built around it.
