Course Descriptions

This course will require students to read, analyse, and perform dramatic works in English. The course will build on students’ previous knowledge of dramatic form and performance techniques, to advance knowledge by analysing major genres and generic conventions within the discipline, such as comedy, tragedy, realism, theatre of the absurd, etc., in order to further enhance and strengthen students’ drama education and understanding. The course will examine significant classical and contemporary works from key Western dramatists, comparatively read via a particular generic frame. It will explore theories and styles of drama and place the specific readings in their social, political, and theoretical contexts. At the same time, it will develop understanding of creative processes and performance techniques associated with the production of plays.
