Intro to Theatre
Order Description
Write a research paper on the musical “Fun Home” from a dramaturgical perspective. Focus on the theme of suicide in relation to homosexuals and what it would have been like for Alison’s father at the time that he was alive. Also try to focus on gender identity and one’s sexuality. Include interviews with the writers, cast and crew involved in the show and also with Alison Bechdel about the play. You should be discussing the musical adapted by Lisa Kron at the very beginning of the paper. Of course you will want to reference the inspiration for the musical (the original graphic novel)
