DRAMA

This course will review and (through critical
examination) expand basic dramatic concepts through a detailed analysis of a
broad range of (20thcentury British) dramatic representations,
written and produced primarily for the stage but generally also adapted for
film or television. In addition to the set texts (written and visual), the
syllabus requires that students attend at least three local performances
outside class time.

 

Student

Films available on youtube (or other outlets) or on
reserve in Sinclair Library (S).
