THEA 101 Unit 3 Exam || with Complete Solutions.
Seventeenth-Century France correct answers Theorists, artists, and playwrights found themselves
attracted to the neoclassical model of drama and the Italiante models in theatre and scenic design.
They were also attracted to commedia dell'arte, whose methods were especially influential on the
development of French comedy after a commedia troupe took up residence in Paris in 1548.

Restoration England correct answers When the monarchy was restored in England in 1660, the
theatre was also revived after an eighteen-year absence.

Eighteenth-Century Europe and the Americas correct answers Nearly all follow the principles of
neoclassicism. The plays that tend to be revived in our own period are comedies of manners,
some of which enjoy popularity, especially in resident professional and university theatres.

Moliere correct answers The premier actor and comic playwright of the era.

Corneille's Le Cid correct answers The first of three great playwrights of seventeenth-century
France. Tested the waters of neoclassicism with The Cid, a fascinating tragicomic tale inspired
by Spanish history and drama. The play features events that should really transpire over years,
but he forced the action into a single day. Actor and manager of his own company.

British approach to neoclassicism correct answers Embraces neoclassicism, but they did so with
a few variations that persisted until the romantic rebellion at the end of the eighteenth century.
Unity of place was defined not as a single location, as the French and Italians defined it, but as
any set of locations that could be reached within a twenty-four-hour period. They had many
changes of scene in the traditional genres. Maintained violence on the stage, with numerous
sword fights, which their audiences seemed to admire.

Tyler's The Contrast correct answers Most intriguing neoclassical play created in the new United
States that was a comic comparison of European and American society and values that was
inspired by The School for Scandal.

Goldoni correct answers Reforms brought commedia dell'arte to an essential end by fully
scripting plays for the Italian actors, beginning with the farce The Servant of Two Masters.
Eliminated commedia masks and also created wonderful roles for women, especially in The
Mistress of the Inn.

David Garrick correct answers Often singled out as the actor of the age. He was said to have had
a "natural" style, but we should not read this as "realistic" in our sense of the word. He was
subtler than his contemporaries, and he engaged in dynamic mimetic movement on the stage;
considered a genius of gesture and facial expression. He became internationally famous, which
was most unusual for an actor before the nineteenth century.

Charles II correct answers Granted patents (official licenses) to new theatre managers to open
professional theatres.
