Abstract

When I began work on Goose Neck last semester, I had no idea exactly what form it would take. I knew I wanted to play with the idea of an absurdist melodrama: rather, I wanted to write a play that contained hyperbolic, melodramatic elements while simultaneously undermining the gravity or seriousness of these conceits. My education in both the Department of Theatre and the Department of English had exposed me to a great variety of playscripts, both serious dramas and absurdist comedies, but I hadn't yet stumbled upon a script that successfully married the two genres. While a voice in my head quietly chirped, "there might be a reason for that, Liz," I nevertheless plunged obstinately forward into the experiment.
