The purpose of this experiment has been to complete a
challenging thesis production in the style and technique of
Open Theatre, utilizing imaginative production effects. The
purpose was also to provide a valuable experience for those
actors and technicians involved, meeting the standards and
requirements of educational theatre. The experiment evolved
from adapting, designing, directing, and producing a twelve-
scene cutting from Megan Terry's Viet Rock and twelve epi-
sodes from Jean-Claude van Italliets The Serpent.,
This study is divided into four chapters and an appen-
dix. Chapter I relates the historical evaluation of the
Open Theatre and the background of the two playwrights dealt
with in the experiment. This includes a discussion of the
general development of the Open Theatre and its techniques,
and a critical view of Megan Terry, her play Viet Rock, and
of Jean-Claude van Itallie and his selection The Serpent.
Chapter II treats upon the meaning and dramatic development
of the adapted selections, and it also includes a discussion
of the director's approach to the experiment. Chapter III
is a record of the directing and producing of the experiment.
It discusses policies for .the formation of the Company anda description of rehearsal procedures, such as exercises,
improTisations, and an approach to the idea of transformations.
