London 966 - The London Stage

6 HU, WR
First Semester. An exploration of English and European drama from the Renaissance to the present, emphasizing the relation between drama as literature and as a script for theatrical realization. The syllabus will be based on plays being produced in London and Stratford; on average, one to two plays a week will be read, discussed, and seen in production. The course will be conducted largely by discussion with the instructor and with actors and other guests involved in theater. Students will rehearse and perform scenes for analysis, keep a performance journal, and write several short papers.

Credits: 6 hours
