...and also do this... by next week.

So, here I am stressing out about my life on a daily basis because of all the work that I have to do. Hour long presentations, essays, 40 page minimum new play written in 12 days, dramaturge a new piece for a play festival, meet with the artistic director of a pretty happening theatre company and a playwright to help them dramaturge a new piece, and let's not forget all that critical theory, the 8 separate articles for each week that I have to do subsequent readings for because I can't make heads or tails out of any of them. Now, I have a teacher who... well, let's just say has done very well for himself in the writing community and who is also rather older than most people should be when they teach a class. Here was my Tuesday morning at 9 am (without coffee, because he doesn't allow food or drink in the classroom - the school does, you can have a buffet in that room if you want as far as the school is concerned).
I want you to:
1) make a production book for both of the plays we've just read - with a bio of the author, your comments on the play, read other plays by the same author, find a painter that has the same feel as the piece, come up with a design idea and include your artwork for the set and costumes - use watercolours, if you don't have some go buy some - find actors you think would be good for the parts, find a composer whose music would work with the play. So, have that to me by next week.
2) We are going to put on a production of this play. You can memorize this in a couple weeks right? And you (me) will direct it.
3) And how are those 3 act plays coming? (to which we all replied that he decided to not have us write a 3 act play because it would be impossible for us to get it in - to which he replied he was still on the fence about that)
This being said, he also completely forgot about another assignment he gave us and this Tuesday told us not to do it. Which means, I'm really not sure how much of all this I should actually start, will it all be retracted next week?
He is, however, a clearly brilliant man with impossible large dreams for us all.
