ABSTRACT
Events demarcate turning points, they change polarities, and shape time; but, perhaps most importantly, they have a propensity toward bringing certain hidden things to light. Events traffic in happenings, cores with their meanings. Cores are not restricted to the hidden characteristics of others, but can also elucidate a buried history, or an over-arching dynamic that are secretly at work on those who inhabit the world of a play. Cores like events have their own rhythm. Cores are much more open, less rule bound. Cores are interpretational. Events, which are singular, have the ability to open up a wide array of cores. Just as actions and events can rhyme from scene to scene or across acts, so too can cores. Cores are interpretative as opposed to the rule-bound nature of events.
