Description

Let's look at some hyper contemporary verse to see how line endings are used in some Broadway and Off-Broadway plays.  We're delving into Lucas Hnath's A Doll House, Pt. 2 and Jeremy O. Harris' Slave Play to see how enjambment and end stopped lines work when we're not in iambic pentameter.  


(Note: Fear not! Although Slave Play contains difficult material, there is no content warning for this episode as the portion quoted is a neutral and not charged speech.  Phew!)
