The first chapter contains: (1) the external influences upon the production, that is, the biographical information on the playwright, and, information on the literary climate in the United States at the time the play was written; (2) the internal influences, that is, an analysis of the style of the production, a plot analysis, a character analysis, and a set description and analysis; and (3) the director's justification of his choice of script and of his interpretation of that script.
