Discussion Guides for Drama

In drama, many questions arise about character motivation, striking language, figures of speech, or setting. The structure of dramatic texts is directly influenced by the collaborative production of artists and the collective reception of an audience. Shared Inquiry™ carries the collaborative nature of drama to the discussion itself.

The following online discussion guides were written by Foundation editors for selected classic and contemporary Penguin titles. Each discussion guide features interpretive questions that support lively and extended discussion, biographical background on the author, and recommended related titles.
