COMMON CORE STANDARDS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS STANDARDS: Student Matinee performances and pre-show workshops provide unique opportunities for experiential learning and support various combinations of the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts. They may also support standards in other subject areas such as Social Studies and History, depending on the individual play’s subject matter. Activities are also included in this Curriculum Guide and in our pre-show workshops that support several of the Massachusetts state standards in Theatre. Other arts areas may also be addressed depending on the individual play’s subject matter.

AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE Attending live theatre is a unique experience with many valuable educational and social benefits. To ensure that all audience members are able to enjoy the performance, please take a few minutes to discuss the following audience etiquette topics with your students before you come to the Huntington Theatre Company. • How is attending the theatre similar to and different from going to the movies? What behaviors are and are not appropriate when seeing a play? Why? • Remind students that because the performance is live, the audience’s behavior and reactions will affect the actors’ performances. No two audiences are exactly the same, and therefore no two performances are exactly the same — this is part of what makes theatre so special! Students’ behavior should reflect the level of performance they wish to see. • Theatre should be an enjoyable experience for the audience. It is absolutely all right to applaud when appropriate and laugh at the funny moments. Talking and calling out during the performance, however, are not allowed. Why might this be? Be sure to mention that not only would the people seated around them be able to hear their conversation, but the actors on stage could hear them, too. Theatres are constructed to carry sound efficiently! • Any noise or light can be a distraction, so please remind students to make sure their cell phones are turned off (or better yet, left at home or at school!). Texting, photography, and video recording are prohibited. Food, gum, and drinks should not be brought into the theatre. • Students should sit with their group as seated by the Front of House staff and should not leave their seats once the performance has begun.

ARTISTS tuning it.” Like other adapters, Hatcher has had to sacrifice certain elements of the original work in order to serve the primary story. Hatcher admits, “You simply have to betray them for the sake of time and interest. The important part is to keep the thematic idea and central notions intact.” In addition to adapting A Confederacy of Dunces, Hatcher recently completed an adaptation of Mark Twain’s satirical tale A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, which had its first production in the spring of 2015 at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His most recent film adaptation premiered in July 2015; Mr. Holmes, starring Sir Ian McKellan, is a film adaptation of Mitch Cullen’s book A Slight Trick of the Mind which follows the final years of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes as he tries to solve his final case. Hatcher has also written screenplays for Casanova, The Duchess, and Stage Beauty, a film adaptation of his original play Compleat Female Stage Beauty. Although Hatcher may be considered the Master of Adaptations, he has also written many original works that have been performed on Broadway, Off Broadway, and in regional theatres across the country and abroad. Some of Hatcher’s original works include Three Viewings, Scotland Road, A Picasso, Neddy, Korczak’s Children, and Mercy of a Storm. Hatcher also wrote the book for the Broadway musical Never Gonna Dance. Playwright Jeffrey Hatcher
JEFFREY HATCHER — PLAYWRIGHT Jeffrey Hatcher is no stranger to the world of adaptations. Not only has he adapted novels for the stage, he is also well-known for his television and film adaptations; some critics have even referred to him as a Master of Adaptations. So when it came time to adapt A Confederacy of Dunces, Hatcher was up to the challenge of transforming the cult classic and Pulitzer Prize winner, even though it initially seemed an impossible task. Hatcher is one of many writers who have attempted to adapt the novel, but unlike others, Hatcher found a home on the stage for his version of A Confederacy of Dunces. Hatcher explained the challenges he faced with this project: “Adapting John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces into a play has been like wrestling Ignatius Reilly to the stage. The book is famously picaresque, episodic and digressive but the digressions are often the point. What I think we’ve arrived at is a play that focuses on the characters — Ignatius, his mother Mrs. Reilly, Burma Jones, Myrna Minkoff — without losing any of the book’s color, atmosphere and humor.” Although Hatcher wrote a complete draft of his A Confederacy of Dunces adaptation, he realizes that there may be some necessary changes as the play develops in Boston. Hatcher states: “In terms of writing, that project is done for now, but I’m sure as we go into the rehearsal process, I’ll be making some changes and fine
QUESTIONS: 1. What are the challenges of adapting a famous literary work into a script for stage or screen? 2. List some book-to-play or book-to-film adaptations you are familiar with. Were these adaptations successful? Why or why not? 2. How would you feel if there was going to be a stage adaptation of your favorite book? Would your love of the book influence how you judged the adaptation? Or would you be able to evaluate the adaptation as an individual work? How do you think this adaptation of A Confederacy of Dunces will be received by fans of the novel?
NICK OFFERMAN: FROM RON SWANSON TO IGNATIUS J. REILLY Pawnee, Indiana may be an unfamiliar place for many people, but for the fictional character Ron Swanson and the fans of the television show “Parks and Recreation,” Pawnee is home. Actor Nick Offerman is well known for his breakout role as Ron Swanson on the hit television show, which focuses on a group of employees in the fictional town of Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation Department and follows them through the trials and tribulations of government work. The show uses satire to poke fun at local government and the ignorance most citizens have about the inner workings of a local government agency. Famous comedian and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Amy Poehler led the “Parks and Recreation” cast as Leslie Knope, the perky and determined A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES CURRICULUM GUIDE

deputy director of the parks department, while Offerman played the macho antigovernment and meat-loving parks director Ron Swanson. Many critics say that Offerman’s portrayal of Ron Swanson is what inspired theatre producers to cast him as Ignatius Reilly. Although the characters are from two completely different worlds and time periods, Ron and Ignatius seem to share a Nick Offerman common worldview. Offerman has stated, “It seems only fitting that I should follow seven seasons of Ron Swanson’s beef with the pudding of [novelist John Kennedy] Toole’s corpulent fop.” So how similar are these characters, really? Throughout the seven-season run of “Parks and Recreation,” Ron Swanson expresses his views on the uselessness for the government and demonstrates a healthy disregard for the law, citing his position of Parks Director and American citizenship as motivations. Swanson says, “I think that all government is a waste of tax payer’s money. My dream is to have the park system privatized and run entirely for profit by corporations, like Chuck E. Cheese. They have an impeccable business model.”
so many shared qualities it seems as though the role of Ignatius Reilly could have been written for Nick Offerman. Offerman is also delighted to be returning to the stage, the place where he began his acting career. Originally from Illinois, Offerman began his professional life in Chicago where he worked with premier theaters such as Steppenwolf Theatre Company, the Goodman Theatre, Wisdom Bridge, and many others. In a New York Times article announcing his role, Offerman stated: “I am simply tumescent at the prospect of assaying the beloved character of Ignatius J. Reilly with our team of magnificent and weird artistic champions.”
QUESTIONS: 1. Research Nick Offerman’s acting career, both on stage and screen. What qualities are shared by the roles he has played? What makes Nick Offerman a good fit for the role of Ignatius J. Reilly? 2. Research roles that Nick Offerman played that are against the type of Ignatius Riley and Ron Swanson. What are some things you notice about Nick Offereman’s performance as these characters? 3. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of casting a famous actor in an iconic role, rather than an actor who is largely unknown?
In A Confederacy of Dunces, Ignatius is known for defying conventional ideals and his frank and inappropriate outspoken beliefs are very similar to the character of Ron Swanson. With

THEMES FOR WRITING & DISCUSSION WORK ETHIC Hard work pays off! Work Hard, Play Harder! Work Hard, Dream Big! Keep Calm and Work Hard! In life’s journey, one encounters many slogans, phrases, and inspirational quotes about the importance of hard work. But what happens when you don’t work hard? What does it mean to have good work ethic? Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation of John Kennedy Toole’s novel A Confederacy of Dunces introduces audiences to multiple perspectives on work ethic and the rewards and consequences that may follow. The novel A Confederacy of Dunces won much acclaim as a literary tribute to the working man. Throughout the novel and play, we encounter characters struggles with finding gainful employment and then keeping the job. A good work ethic relies on the idea that hard work is intrinsically virtuous or worthy of reward; as we follow the characters throughout A Confederacy of Dunces, we notice that not all of them are in agreement with this concept. One of the prime examples of a character who lacks a good work ethic is Ignatius J. Reilly, the outspoken and extremely intelligent protagonist of the play. From the moment Ignatius is introduced, it is clear that he is very smart, complicated, and following his own rules. He is quick to let people know what he thinks even if it might be offensive or inappropriate to the situation, and he is always ready to challenge “the man” or any higher authority. Though Ignatius is extremely intelligent he evidently has a major philosophical conflict with the concept of work, which is contradicted by his love for knowledge and power. When Ignatius is questioned by Patrolman Mancuso about his resistance to work, Ignatius responds with the observation that “employers sense in me a denial of their values, forced to function in a century I loathe. I am a delightful anachronism. People realize this and resent it.” An anachronism is a person or thing that belongs to a time period other than that in which it exists. Ignatius’s belief that he doesn’t belong to the 20th century, where one must work hard in order to prosper, seems to be at the center of his problems. It took him eight years to earn his master’s degree, which according to his mother has not reaped any reward for him or his family. “All he does is lay around and insult me,” says Mrs. Reilly. Ignatius devotes significant time to defending his level of intelligence. He rejects the jobs he has been offered, describing them as menial and degrading, and declaring that he is too superior for that type of work. “Do you really think I would lower myself to do menial laboring?” he asks. However, Ignatius’s negative view of work is not only targeted at blue collar jobs but positions in higher education as well, which seems ironic coming from a man who considers his knowledge to be his most valuable attribute. In a story he recounts to Darlene at the infamous Night of Joy Bar, Ignatius recounts his adventures in Baton Rouge, where he traveled to interview for a position at a university: “My tale begins with an invitation. I had applied for a position at a university beneath my talents but beyond my walking distance.”
Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) and Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) in “Parks and Recreation”
Ignatius strongly believes that he was more than qualified to work at the school and maybe even wasted his time applying for a position at a university that was also too far from home. In today’s world the common wisdom says that success can only be achieved through hard work. African-American educator and author Booker T. Washington stated, “Nothing ever comes to one that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.” Washington’s quote reinforces the timeless ideal that nothing worth having comes easily, a view directly related to the concept of “The American Dream.” Ignatius Reilly, however, has a different view.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why does Ignatius have such difficulty acquiring a job? 2. a. In addition to a strong work ethic, what other qualities are necessary to achieve success in life? b. Is Ignatius a successful person? Why or why not? 3. What do you imagine the path to your own success will look like? How will you achieve it? What obstacles do you think you may face?
IGNORANCE, JUDGMENT, AND PERCEPTION How much do we know about current world events and the experiences of those who are different from ourselves? Do we really understand how our government works? As technology continues to advance, our methods of acquiring knowledge have shifted from copious hours of library research to the instant gratification of Google. Some say that it is this shift in technology that has caused more bias and prejudgment in the world. Others cite a cultural lack of motivation to think critically and spend time actually learning. Whatever a person’s reasons for not understanding something, it is clear that ignorance is a real challenge in modern times. A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES CURRICULUM GUIDE

Ignorance is defined as having a lack of knowledge or information about a topic, but what does it really mean to be ignorant in life? When people are ignorant about a particular topic, they may also be uninterested in the topic’s importance or relevance to their own experiences. This lack of interest is a major theme and catalyst for the characters actions and comedy of A Confederacy of Dunces. The title of the book even alludes to the characters’ ignorance; the term “dunce” is not commonly used in today’s society, but it is a synonym for “dumb,” “stupid,” or simply “slow at learning.” Toole’s characters’ ignorance is at the core of what makes them “dunces” and leads them into many complicated situations because of it. Many of the characters in A Confederacy of Dunces are not only misinformed about the world but also continue to perpetuate the spread of inaccurate information to others. One of these characters is Claude Robichaux, the suitor of Mrs. Reilly. Claude Robichaux attempts to interrupt Patrolman Mancuso’s arrest of Ignatius and proclaims to the crowd that Mancuso is a communist. He declares that “New Orleans was never like this before all the Communists took over.” Robichaux’s claim that Mancuso and the other officers are communists is incorrect, as America is a democracy and has never been led by the Communist Party. Robichaux is tapping into Americans’ historical fear of communism, rooted in a period called the Red Scare in the first half of the 20th century. Toole wrote the novel in 1963 and although the Red Scare was essentially over, Robichaux’s adamant accusation represents the way ignorance can transform speculation and hysteria into inaccurate beliefs. In his stage adaptation, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher also deliberately spells “communist” as “communiss” in the script as a pronunciation clue for the actor playing the role. Claude Robichaux is not the only character whose ignorance is on display. Mr. Gonzalez, the Levy Pants factory’s office manager, also demonstrates ignorance about the mental health needs of the elderly. When Ignatius arrives at the Levy Pants factory, he meets Miss Trixie, who is believed to be the company’s longesttenured employee. Her odd practice of asking Mr. Gonzalez for a boiled ham and mistaking Ignatius as her former coworker, Gloria, indicate to the audience that she is suffering from some form of memory loss and perhaps should have retired by now. Yet rather than offering assistance, Mr. Gonzalez keeps her working on staff because according to her Miss Trixie’s psychiatrist (who happens to be Mrs. Levy’s cousin) work is what is best for her mental and physical well-being. When it comes to the central character of Ignatius J. Reilly, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher and author John Kennedy Toole play with the relationship between ignorance and perception. They give Ignatius a sophisticated vocabulary that suggests he is highly educated and therefore cannot be ignorant, but Ignatius clearly does not understand many social constructs and cues. Is he ignorant or merely naïve? Ignatius is quick to speak whatever is on his mind regardless of how it might affect others. When Mrs. Reilly reveals to Ignatius that Claude Robichaux has paid for his medical bills he is offended by Robichaux’s generosity. “I will not have that man paying my medical bills,” Ignatius angrily declares. “I shall go back to the hospital until honest money buys my freedom.” Mrs. Reilly later confronts Ignatius about his tone: 8
A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES CURRICULUM GUIDE
“You learned everything at them colleges and universities except how to treat a human being,” she says. Ignatius’s rebuttal to his mother’s argument is that “It is not in your nature to be treated nicely. You’re an overt masochist. Nice treatment will only confuse you.” Ignatius’ pre-judgment is also demonstrated through his view of work and his belief that he is a superior human being who does not need to work in order to prosper.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why do you think Ignatius is ignorant about how to behave in social situations? 2. A Confederacy of Dunces clearly depicts the power of knowledge and how quickly biases can spread through a community. Ignorance is used as a comedic tool in the play but the points the show makes about the dangers of ignorance in the real world are very serious. Identify two or three moments in the play in which comedy is used to demonstrate the dangers of ignorance. 3. What does the saying, “ignorance is bliss” mean? 4. What current topics are people ignorant or misinformed about today? Why are they ignorant? Is there any subject or current event you claim to understand but may not be as fully informed about as you’d like? 5. Why has the word “dunce” fallen out of use?
RACIAL INJUSTICE There are many forms of inequality in the world but the common thread among them all of is the practice of treating others differently because of some aspect of who they are. History has taught us that this sort of belief system is likely to lead to hate and bloodshed. Playwright Jeffrey Hatcher and author John Kennedy Toole explore racial inequality in the jazz-soaked New Orleans setting of A Confederacy of Dunces. The characters Burma Jones, Mr. Watson, and the factory workers experience racial inequality throughout the entire play. Though they are not brutally punished or mistreated, it is clear that because of their race they are treated differently from others. When Claude is arrested and taken to the police station, he encounters Burma Jones, an African-American man who has been wrongfully convicted of a crime. As Claude enters the station, Burma comments: “Whoo-ee Po-lice mus be gettin desperate now. They pickin up color people all the time for doin’ nothing.” Burma’s claim that African-Americans are more likely to be arrested for simply “being black” than a white person is for actually committing a crime indicates that racial profiling is a problem in their community. Racial profiling occurs when someone in a position of authority assumes a person of color has committed a crime or done something wrong based on stereotypes. When Claude explains to Burma that he was arrested for calling a police officer a communist, Burma replies, “I call a po-lice a cawmniss, my ass be in Angola now.” Burma’s comment exposes the racial inequality of his community and indicates that if an African-American were to call a police officer a communist or anything possibly offensive, they would end up in jail without due process. Unlike the other African-American characters in the play, Burma is very vocal regarding the mistreatment he faces. When Burma finds himself at the Night of Joy club asking Lana Lee for a job,
New Orleans, early 1960s jazz band
Lana Lee offers him a custodial position. Burma initially objects to the job, not just because of its low pay but on the grounds that it is a stereotypical job for an African-American. “They got me workin modern slavery. If I quit I get report for being a vagran. If I stay, I’m gainfully employ on a salry ain even minimal wage. What I sposed to do bout such a sityation?” Burma’s assertion of slavery implies that even though the institution of American slavery was over a century ago, African-Americans are still treated as second class citizens. With such racial disparities in the world, people of color are more likely to have lower paying jobs than their white counterparts. This second class citizenship is not only a challenge for Burma Jones but also for the workers in the Levy Pants factory. As Ignatius grows increasingly dissatisfied with his clerical job at the Levy Pants factory, Miss Trixie, an elderly woman suffering from memory loss, suggests that he try working on the factory floor. “You always come back happy when the black boys pinch your bumpus,” she comments. Miss Trixie’s claim that the “black boys” make her happy by sexually assaulting her perpetuates the stereotypical image of African-American men as overtly sexual beings who are unable to control themselves, especially around white women. Ignatius goes on to reinforce this stereotype by proclaiming that “were I a Negro, I would spend every waking hour on public conveyances, pressing my ample thigh against old white ladies just to elicit their shrieks of pain.” With this statement, Ignatius not only reinforces Miss Trixie’s stereotype of AfricanAmerican men but also frames it as a privilege to be one because of their violent tendencies. Ignatius’s racial comments continue when he makes his way to the factory floor where he is met by Mr. Watson. Ignatius asks Mr. Watson how much he is paid and Mr. Watson reveals that he is
paid merely half of Ignatius’s own wage. The disproportionately low pay Mr. Watson receives for his hard work is an example of the modern slavery Burma Jones referred to earlier in the play. Ignatius, however, does not see the connection. He goes on to claim that he identifies with Negroes and that he even envies them. “Of course my exile is voluntary while an alarming number of contemporary Negros aspire to become active members of the middle class,” he comments to Mr. Watson. “Well, although such striving makes me question your values, I still far prefer the company of Negroes like yourself to that of middle class whites. The terror your race is able to inspire in the white proletariat? I envy it.” Ignatius demonstrates his ignorance of the plight African-Americans face on a daily basis. Ignatius’s belief that African-Americans inspire terror in white people is proof of the pervasiveness of the stereotype that African-Americans are to be feared and viewed differently from others.
QUESTIONS: 1. List three or four moments in the play that depict examples racial inequality. Why are characters like Ignatius quick to make assumptions about others? 2. Have you experienced or witnessed instances of racial inequality in your own community? How did you react? What long-term understandings did you take away from these experiences? 3. How can people work to eliminate racial inequality in daily life? 4. A Confederacy of Dunces was written in 1963 and exposes some of the racial inequality that still occurs in our society today. Research other social inequalities or current events that relate to inequality. What are some similarities between the book and these issues? A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES CURRICULUM GUIDE

FOR FURTHER EXPLORATION CULT CLASSICS Monty Python’s Holy Grail, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Harry Potter, Mean Girls, A Clockwork Orange, and A Confederacy of Dunces; what do these books and films all have in common? They are all considered to be cult classics. Cult classics are stories that have acquired such a large and passionate fan base that includes its own dedicated subcultures. How do you know if you’re a follower of the many cult classics? Die-hard fans of cult classics participate in multiple viewings or readings, quote the stories in their everyday lives, and sometimes participate in cosplay (the practice of dressing up as a character from a book, movie, or video game). Another hallmark of the cult classic is its increase in popularity over time. Many cult classics were considered controversial, inappropriate for their target audience, or simply not a strong artistic product when they were originally released. But over time, these works developed a following. Many books that are considered important contributions to American literature such as To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, and A Confederacy of Dunces, did not start out with such positive critical receptions. Long before John Kennedy Toole’s novel reigned in the cult classic category, publishers rejected the book many times before it finally found its way onto store shelves and into readers’ hands. Toole wrote the book in 1963 and died in 1969 before it was published. His mother retrieved the manuscript in 1972 but was unable to have it published until 1980. The following year, however, Toole’s book won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and its success has skyrocketed ever since. In the time since its publication, A Confederacy of Dunces has been translated into 22 languages with over 30 editions.
QUESTIONS: 1. Research some cult classic books from the last ten years. Compare and contrast these works in terms of themes and subject matter. 2. What gets you hooked on a book, movie, or television show? In your opinion, what makes for a good story? 3. What do you think encourages people to become fixated on a book, TV show, or film?
LITERARY ADAPTATIONS Many films and television shows today began their lives as books before reaching the screen, and numerous popular stage plays are also adaptations of literary works. These adaptations provide the audience with new perspectives on some of their favorite stories and characters. A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the many books that have now joined the canon of adapted plays, which includes The Diary of Anne Frank, Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mockingbird, and 12
A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES CURRICULUM GUIDE
Frankenstein among others. Some of the most famous and longest running musicals were inspired or adapted from books, including Wicked, Les Miserables, South Pacific, and The Phantom of the Opera. When news breaks that a stage or screen adaptation of a beloved book is in the works, lovers of these stories and characters often wonder if the new version could possibly live up to the book. Until playwright Jeffery Hatcher was asked to adapt the script, several attempts at bringing A Confederacy of Dunces to the stage or screen failed. The first attempt at an adaptation occurred in 1980. Film producer Scott Kramer first came upon the novel by accident and initially had no interest in it, but when he eventually read the book he had a major change of heart and decided the story needed to be shared. According to Peter Hyman in the article A Conspiracy of Dunces: Will John Kennedy Toole’s comic masterpiece ever reach the big screen?, “Kramer spent 26 years trying to make the book into a movie and his odyssey underlines a perennial Hollywood question: Can you adapt a satire without losing your shirt and your mind?” Steven Soderbergh, director of the films Ocean’s Eleven and Traffic, dedicated ten years to try to produce the cult classic novel with no success. Many famous actors have been rumored to be associated with potential adaptation projects — Will Ferrell, John Goodman, John Candy, Chris Farley, and Zach Galifianakis have all been considered for the role of Ignatius. A Confederacy of Dunces is not the only book that has been challenging to adapt. Producers have tried for years to adapt J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye. Salinger died in 2010, and unfortunately his agents refuse to sell or license the rights to the book. Many attempts have been made to adapt Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, but with over one thousand pages, over one hundred characters, and about four hundred footnotes, an adaptation of the prominent novel has been extremely challenging.
QUESTIONS: 1. Some say A Confederacy Dunces is a cursed book because of the troubles writers and producers have faced in their attempts to develop a stage or screen version. Do you agree? Why or why not? 2. What books have you have read that have been transformed into films, television shows, or plays? How was watching the story different from reading it? Which experience did you prefer? 3. What other books or plays you would like to see adapted into another art form? Why? 4. In July 14, 2015, author Harper Lee published a prequel to her famed book To Kill A Mockingbird entitled Go Set a Watchmen. How did critics and fans of To Kill A Mockingbird respond to this newly published work?

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES ADAPTATIONS BY YOU Jeffery Hatcher’s stage adaption of A Confederacy of Dunces opens a window into the world of John Kennedy Toole’s classic novel. Now it’s your turn to try out the process of adaptation! Work alone or in a small group to use the following suggested excerpts from the first chapter of the novel A Confederacy of Dunces to create a three to five minute scene. Each scene should have characters, dialogue, and stage directions that describe the setting and any important actions the characters take. In the first chapter of the book, Claude Robichaux arrives at the police station after being arrested at D.H. Holmes for calling Officer Mancuso a communist. We are introduced to Burma Jones, who explains to Robichaux that he has been wrongfully arrested. After Burma has explained his situation, the sergeant summons Robichaux and determines that they must release him to his family. Refer to the Grove Press 1980 edition for the following page numbers: • Page 13 starting at “In the precinct the old man sat on a bench…” to page 17 “ ‘Ooo-wee!’ Jones said from the secrecy of his cloud.” • Page 13 from the same place listed above but ending on page 15 at the line “A policeman summoned the old man up to the desk in the center of the room where a sergeant was seated. The patrolman who had arrested him was standing there.” Preforming & Understanding Adaptations After you have finished writing your adaptation, cast, rehearse, and perform the scene for the class. Using the table below, ask the audience to list the similarities between the excerpt from the novel and the newly scripted performances.

ADAPTED SCRIPT PERFORMANCE
SCENIC DESIGN Jeffery Hatcher’s suggestion for the scenic design for A Confederacy of Dunces is as follows: The stage design should not attempt a slavish “realism.” Settings should be suggested by a few carefully chosen pieces of light furniture, and by the dialogue. Things that roll on and off are good. Things that don’t are bad. Back projections may come in useful. What is vitally important is a sense of New Orleans: wood, wrought iron, cobblestones, neon, streetcar tracks, etc. But these don’t have to be realistically rendered. They can be represented in various ways. Use the references and descriptions in the play and/or the novel to design your interpretation of what one location in A Confederacy of Dunces should look like. Cite specific quotes from the text to support your design choices. Then compare and contrast your ideas with the actual design choices in the Huntington Theatre Company’s production.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES EXPLORING YOUR WORK ETHIC A Confederacy of Dunces clearly depicts Ignatius J. Reilly’s ideas about work ethic and shows how it has affected his life. Divide students up into groups of four. Ask them to brainstorm what a good work ethic looks like and come up with 3 to 5 interview questions from which they think they can determine a person’s work ethic. Have students pair up with someone from another group and interview each other. After they have interviewed each other, have students determine what kind of work ethic they have and the person they interviewed has. They should then share with their partners what they determined and discuss how they arrived at their conclusions.
UNDERSTANDING STATUS Part 1 Throughout A Confederacy of Dunces, the characters’ lack of knowledge plays into their interaction with each other. The having or not having of knowledge strongly influences how characters perceive themselves and others.
MOVIESCHOCOLATEBOOKS.BLOGSPOT.RO
Use a deck of playing cards (removing the joker) and distribute a card to each student. They should then hold the cards to their foreheads without looking at what number is on the card, so that they can see all other students’ cards but not their own. The card will represent their external status — how others perceive them. Instruct the students that the Ace is the highest status card and two is the lowest. Ask them to walk around the room as if they are at a social gathering. They should react to others according to the status level indicated by their card. The higher the status, the grander the interaction or gesture must be. After some time, ask students to put themselves in order from highest status to lowest status, based solely on their observations of how others reacted to them.

Shuffle the deck and redistribute cards to students, but this time let them see the card they have but not others’ cards. This time, the card will represent their internal status — how they perceive themselves. Ask students to walk around the room, performing their internal status through body language and gestures. After some time, ask them to again line up in order of internal status. Once they have lined up have students reveal their cards. If they have not arranged themselves in the correct order, discuss why this might be.
As a class, compare and contrast the experience of the first round versus the second round. Part 2 Break up students into two groups. From each group ask two students to volunteer and be the performers while the rest of the group is the observers/judges. The two students will then determine who will be A and B. Then they will start with the following simple dialogue: A. Hello B. Hello A. Been waiting long? B. Ages Students will then continue the dialogue by asking who, what, where, when, and why questions. The students do not need to discuss the questions before they create the scene — this process should happen improvisationally on the spot. Students should work to obtain and hold high status or low status while asking and answering each other’s questions. Students observing should attempt to judge who “wins.” Elements to consider include eye contact, body language, rhythms, movement, and vocal quality. Discuss why someone would want to attain lower status than someone else.
