I think the play is Traditional. The play told a story and had a story lineWho is the protagonist? The antagonist? How do you know?
In one scene the Protagonist was Hedwig and the Antagonist was Luther. I think it was them because Hedwig had finally got what she want, which was to leave east Germany, become a woman and live the way she wanted too. Everything was going well until her surgery was messed up, and then a year later Luther decides to leave her for a man.
5. What is the inciting incident? How do you know?
I believe the inciting incident was when she gave Tommy Gnosis a blowjob and he swerved into a bus with deaf kids that caused a major accident. That’s why tommy was on tour because he was trying to get his life back together from the accident and Hedwig was at a bar reminiscing on what happened.
6. What is the climax? How do you know?
I think the climax of the play was he husband left her and the then the Berlin Wall fell. If the berlin wall would have fell before she wouldn’t have had to get married to Luther and have a surgery that messed her up and didn’t make her happy.
