Charles L. Mee - Style and Method of Writing

Style and Method of Writing

On Mee’s web site, the (re)making project, he says “There is no such thing as an original play.” and that his plays are “composed in the way that Max Ernst made his Fatagaga pieces toward the end of World War I: texts have often been taken from, or inspired by, other texts.”

The openness of Mee’s scripts do not allow for one authoritative interpretation. They are dependent upon the directors who interpret them.

Famous quotes containing the words style, method and/or writing:

    A church that can never have done with excommunicating Christ while it exists! Away with your broad and flat churches, and your narrow and tall churches! Take a step forward, and invent a new style of out-houses. Invent a salt that will save you, and defend our nostrils.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Protestantism has the method of Jesus with His secret too much left out of mind; Catholicism has His secret with His method too much left out of mind; neither has His unerring balance, His intuition, His sweet reasonableness. But both have hold of a great truth, and get from it a great power.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    There are different rules for reading, for thinking, and for talking. Writing blends all three of them.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
