You will produce an annotated bibliography summarizing the contemporary critical response to the plays.    The annotated bibliographies should follow the MLA format.  See a recent edition of The Bedford Handbook or The MLA Style Guide for guidelines for documentation and sample bibliographic entries. The reviews for Beckett will come for the Samuel Beckett: The Critical Heritage, so you will use the "work from an anthology" model. (I'm still looking for a source for Pinter.) You should alphabetize each bibliography by the authors’ last names. The annotations are simply brief (4-6 sentence) summaries which follow the bibliographical entries.  You should indicate the overall judgement the critic makes, highlight the main reasons for the judgment s/he offers, and use colorful quotations to illustrate your summary.  Here's a link to a model.
