PURAbstract
The project is invested in the impact travel can have on a dramatic text and the value of archival research within production dramaturgy and critical responses to theatre. Using pre-Broadway drafts of the script of Angels in America (which Wilson gathered by traveling to archives in London, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles over the past two years), Wilson will summarize the key textual changes made to Kushner’s classic play over the first seven years of its production history. She also will summarize her own process crafting her departmental thesis in English Literary Studies, which will take the form of a podcast.
