Description:

(formerly Studies in Drama: Modern Dramatic Literature) (formerly same course as THA 248) 3 units 3 hours weekly Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL 101. This transfer-level course surveys a diverse range of plays that are representative of the modern theater. Beginning with Ibsen, it covers European, American, and World stages. Students learn critical methods for appraising plays as both written texts and staged performances. Plays are reflected upon, not just in their original historical and cultural contexts, but in their appropriation, over time and space, by subsequent translators, actors, directors, and filmmakers. This survey is characterized by critical thinking, close textual reading, class discussion, and analytic writing. (CSU, UC, AVC)
