(formerly Studies in Drama: Survey of World Drama (Classic Greek to 19th Century) (formerly same course as THA 246) 3 units 3 hours weekly Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL 101. This transfer-level course surveys drama from its classical origins up to Ibsen. Students engage with a broad range of plays from high-brow tragedy to slapstick farce. They 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. [CAN ENGL 22] (CSU, UC, AVC)
