short play revolving around a historic event
You will write a short play revolving around a historic event, trying to stick to the facts while also developing an imagined dialogue amongst the participants. There should be a Title, a setting (place, date, etc.), a list of main characters, and then several Acts where you would insert the dialogue. This is a creative exercise, and the idea is to produce something that would teach history to the public in a way that is universally accessible. A good example of this kind of public history would be the recent success of the hit Broadway play, Hamilton.
Ideally this will be a 4 to 5 page project with a bibliography at the end. The bibliography needs to include all the sources you consulted for this play (Wikipedia is NOT a source). I would like to see you all consult at least 1-2 books. You can use several website articles and I will also allow one documentary as a source..[unique_solution]
