3、 play. Yes. Thats the direct quote from Charles Mee. Robert: Mee thats with two “e”s, right? Professor: Yep. M-E-E. Youll probably be hearing a lot about him. Hes becoming a pretty famous playwright. Robert: Yeah,well, Ive been thinking about his quote. I mean there must be some original plays out t
4、here. Professor: Ill grant that hes overstating things somewhat. But the theater does have a long tradition of borrowing. Take Shakespeare.

Robert: So its like when the playwright bases a play on a previous playwrights theme or message.Its like theyre talking to each other,
10、 collaborating. Uh, just not at the same time right? Professor: Exactly. And the second point Mees trying to make, I think, is that its legitimate to retell an old story in a new way, in a way thats, uh more in line with contemporary concerns. So when playwrights reinvent or update an earlier play,
