Document Summary
To develop this main character fraser uses strategies such as in the beginning he is the least characterized since he does not say much- very short phrases, not lots of detail on him. It"s o(cid:374)l(cid:455) (cid:449)he(cid:374) he (cid:373)eets matt that he fi(cid:374)ds a(cid:374) outlet. This contributes to the theme of the play, the idea that this central character is a blocked person- the captions help this by providing a constant idea, word, thought, activity which stimulates- the constant borage of information. Subtext: the (cid:862)u(cid:374)der(cid:863) or (cid:862)(cid:271)elo(cid:449)(cid:863) te(cid:454)t; that (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h is o(cid:374)l(cid:455) i(cid:373)plied, suggested or hinted at in a text. In drama, the unspoken in a play, often implied b y pauses and silences; can reveal unconscious or repressed fears or desires, and thus is often important to psychoanalytical critics. Brad fraser: born in edmonton, was drawn to theatre from a young age; writing his first play at 17.
