films, but then it would study movies, not theatre. It would lose those elements of life that make theatre exciting. Hypermedia could help students recapture the essence of theatre by allowing for change. It could present diverse readings of the same scenes; it could depict different actors in the same role; it could incorporate opposing audience reactions. And it could help students realize how conflicting readings of the same play may both be "fight." Iago may be played by a 22-year-old man or by a 52-year-old man. Both versions of Othello might work, but, as Storyspace could help demonstrate, they would not be the same play. Hypermedia, thus, has the potential to help us read in new ways, to acknowledge conflict and change and to better understand and present the value of drama as theatre.
