Abstract
Identity, Culture and Family: A Theatrical Exploration
By E. Camille Bullock
Through the playwriting process, this paper seeks to understand whether an exploration of self through
theater can be as satisfying and meaningful for a playwright as it is for an audience. First, this paper
examines the theater of cultural identity, Cajun culture and the impact of Hurricane Katrina on New
Orleans through research, building on that through personal experience and narrative. The play takes
a very honest approach toward the shame of family, culture, self and the human condition. It
concludes with a personal reflection on how the composition and performance of a piece of this
nature can affect a playwright and an audience.
