203-Everyman
We're finishing up Everyman and trying to figure out how to transpose this play written around 1475 into 2004 and A&M University. Someone in the 10 o'clock class suggested that The Summoning of Everyman could be translated into Bring Yo' Ass EveryA&Mstudent!, which I think catches the meaning pretty well. Someone else suggested that the event that wakes up Everystudent is to be expelled. I asked folks to identify the problem for the A&M revision (in Everyman the problem is that God is upset with humans because they've forgotten the spiritual and focus on worldly goods) -- so what's the problem for Everystudent? forgotten they're here for learning not grades? forgotten they're here for grades not partying? The solution in Everyman is that God sends Death to Everyman, who is informed he has to die pretty soon, but he does get to take a quick pilgrimage first. If the solution for Everystudent is to get expelled but to go on a pilgrimage first, what does the pilgrimage look like? I'll be interested to see what folks come up with on Wednesday.
