Using a historical incident, suggest episodic and climactic plays that might be derived from the events. For instance, a playwright who wanted to write a climactic play based on the life of John F. Kennedy might focus on the Cuban missile crisis, and the way that the subject was treated would be influenced by the structure. What other parts of Kennedy's life might the playwright choose? If he or she wanted to write an episodic play of the same incident, how would it change? What could be shown more easily in an episodic structure? In a climactic structure?
What will be an ideal response?
