“Scene from a Second-Person Screenplay”
In this activity, students will reflect on the interplay of forms in Interior Chinatown after writing and performing their own scenes from a second-person screenplay.
Interior Chinatown uniquely combines a second-person screenplay format with the conventions of a novel. In this activity, you will create your own screenplay scene, written in the second person. You will perform your scene for your classmates. Then, you will read several of your classmates' scenes, watch these scenes being performed, reflect on how the written versions compare with the performed versions, and explain what this experience highlights about Yu’s text.
