This class is an introduction to theatre as a literary genre. Students
read and discuss a variety of significant dramatic texts, with an emphasis
on modern American plays. Some European and non-Western dramatic texts
from various historical periods may also be included. Students develop the
ability to critically analyze play scripts, exploring such topics as
theme, character, dramatic structure and historical context. Careful
attention is given to plays as literature intended to be performed, and
the analytical and conceptual viewpoints of the actor, director and
designer are considered.
