Answer:

Thornton Wilder's play, Our Town, was played using the metatheatrical method, where most of the "scenery" is imagination.

Explanation:

Wilder was dissatisfied with the theatre at his time, so his response was to use the <em>metatheatrical</em> style.

The play is to be performed with little scenery, no set, and minimal props.

Surroundings of the set are created by furniture, staircases, ladders. As an example, there is a scene between two characters, Emily and George, who are having a conversation from "window to window" and it was performed by the two actors standing atop separate ladders to represent neighboring houses.

The actors mime actions, without the use of props, and mime the objects with which they interact.

Which group in nineteenth-century America would likely be the most receptive audience for "What to the Slave is the Fourth of Ju
NikAS [45]

The correct answer is D. Abolitionists

Explanation:

The speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" by a former slave, Frederick Douglas, focused on showing the Independence Day and its principles such as freedom or liberty in the U.S. did not protect slaves, and therefore the ideals held by many only applied to part of the population. This tried to show the audience the importance of ending slavery and providing slaves the freedoms white people had.

In this context, this speech would be supported by abolitionist (people that wanted to end slavery) and they would be more receptive to it because they supported the idea of providing freedom and protections to slaves and ending enslavement, which is the focs of the speech.
