A New Kind of Drama Robert Jones explains that the human mind creates drama from the unconscious mind. What he has mentioned in this chapter is that there is a whole other world in our minds that creates dreams and thoughts that we as humans beings want to show through theatre. Which I feel is very accurate. Plays are not only made to tell a story, but to connect to every human being’s mind, whether it’s an audience member or even the actor. We all want to create a similar “image” that Jones mentions and that image need to transfer from the playwright to the director to the designers and to the actors and finally to the audience. The main focus of a play is to decipher a similar image that is created from one mind and is re-created in another’s mind. Art in the Theatre In this chapter Jones is trying to define what real art in the theatre is. Now, here I agree with some of his ideas but at the same time I don’t agree with some of the things he says. For example he mentions that he as an audience member wants to see an “eyeful” in a set, or that he doesn’t want to see clever contraption where a piece of a set or prop transforms from one thing to another and is the same piece of set but with a new purpose. Now that’s his opinion and every artist has their idea what art is. It’s like Graffiti, some people think it’s just scribble and vandalism but others think it’s artistic. But, I feel a designer who can create a set that has many purposes and can convince the audience that one piece of scenery was actually many different things is very artistic and extremely creative. Jones also mentions that having almost no set is not very entertaining to see. I will agree it may be boring to look at but then I can truly focus on the actors and how they use their skill to create the environment for us. Like for example I saw a production of Our Town where the only piece of set was a ladder and a few chairs and the actor
