ENGL 327 - Modern Drama: Ibsen to Pirandello

3 HU, WR
Second Semester. This course explores the different ways in which “reality” was staged by playwrights including Ibsen, Chekhov, Strindberg, Shaw, and Pirandello. We will consider how modern theatrical movements such as realism, naturalism, expressionism, and metadrama sought to represent “reality,” focusing on evolving stagecraft. Emphasis will also be placed on the historical and cultural contexts surrounding the early stages of modern drama. Post-1900. D, WL.
