"The Medium is the message" - Marshall McLuhan
Inspired by the thoughts of Marshall McLuhan, a group of three English students gathered to form 'The Dream Team' in an effort to determine how the medium to dramtic entertainment has changed over time, and how these changes have impacted both the patron and artist. Has the change in medium changed the message? If so, how? And how has the theatrical experience changed along with the medium?
Our Presentation will consist of three sections: the theatre medium, radio and early television as a medium, and finally cinema and the digital medium. The three sections will be presented in a manner that reflects the medium in which these dramas were preformed. The theatrical section shall be preformed, the radio section completely orally, the television section as a broadcast, and the digital section as a web video chat.
