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:

    In comedy, the witty style wins out over every mishap of the plot.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    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)

    I’ve tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I’m afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
