progressing through Doubt

I am working on my presentation for one of my courses which will be on the recent Abbey Theatre production in the context of contemporary Irish theatre. I can assure you that I have done extensive analysis of the script (hooray for semiotics!). Of course, now I am trying to decide how to frame the presentation. I started my PowerPoint presentation last week with lots of tasteful animation.

I am one-third into my paper that is supposed to be my presentation typed up, but will probably be a structured paper from which I will essentialise the points of my presentation. The trick is the paper cannot be more than 3,000 words and the presentation cannot be longer than 20 minutes. So I can't get into any significant depth.

But I do have graphs to make a point about the deliberate writing of John Patrick Shanley that I will use in my paper and in my presentation, if only as an appendix to reinforce my point that this play is carefully constructed with layers of intention and possible interpretations. I mean, who doesn't want to have a theatre presentation with line graphs?!?!

I think I just qualified for a promotion to a new level of nerdiness.
