  • STAGING the FANTASTIC a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of The
    STAGING THE FANTASTIC A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the School of Theatre and Dance University of Houston In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master of Arts By Robert W. Kimbro May 2016 STAGING THE FANTASTIC An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the School of Theatre and Dance University of Houston In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master of Arts By Robert W. Kimbro May 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the practice of adaptation and specifically the staging of literary works featuring elements of the fantastic. There is a long tradition of skepticism about depicting such fantastic elements on stage. Yet there is an equally long tradition of plays about gods, witches, fairies, talking animals, and magic. In this study, I examine successful recent productions of such works with a focus on the way that they utilize varying storytelling modes and systems of signification to overcome the challenges of staging the impossible. American Players Theatre’s 2014 production of An Iliad, adapted by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare, revisited Homer’s epic of the Trojan War. The Tempest, staged by Teller and Aaron Posner, used techniques of stage magic in the service of Shakespeare’s story of the exiled sorcerer, Prospero. Synapse Productions brought the talking barnyard creatures of George Orwell’s allegorical fable Animal Farm to life through techniques of overt puppetry. And my own adaptation of Odd and the Frost Giants staged Neil Gaiman’s new tale of Norse mythological figures Thor, Loki, and Odin. iv Acknowledgements This thesis and my entire graduate school process would not have been possible without the help and support of many people.

But if I had to declare a favorite, it would probably be for the Norse myths. My first encounter with Asgard and its inhabitants was as a small boy, no more than seven, reading the adventures of the Mighty Thor as depicted by American comics artist Jack Kirby, in stories plotted by Kirby and Stan Lee and dialogued by Stan Lee’s brother, Larry Lieber. Kirby’s Thor was powerful and good-looking, his Asgard a towering science fictional city of imposing buildings and dangerous edifices, his Odin wise and noble, his Loki a sardonic horn-helmeted creature of pure mischief.

  • Teacher's Notes
    by Teacher’s Notes Synopsis Shortly after moving into an old house with strange tenants living in the fl ats above and below, Coraline discovers a locked wooden door at the far corner of the drawing room. Curiosity runs riot in Coraline’s mind and she unlocks the door to see what lies behind it. Disappointingly, it opens on to a brick wall. Days later, after exploring the rest of the house and garden, Coraline returns to the same mysterious door and opens it again. This time there is a dark hallway in front of her. Stepping inside, the place beyond has an eerie familiarity about it. It looks like her own fl at and, strangest of all, her mum and dad are there too. Only they’re not quite themselves … Soon Coraline fi nds herself caught in a terrifying alternate world and she must battle to save herself, her family and three lost children. About the Author British-born, US resident Neil Gaiman is an internationally renowned writer of genre- defying novels, screenplays, graphic novels and picture books.
