WIN 267 - Stage on Screen: Movies about Theatre

Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

The relationship between the stage andthe screen has always been a complicated one. Film actors often receive their best training on stage; yet film acting requires much greater subtley than stage acting. The propularity of film in its beginnings were spurred on by the century of theatre at the turn of the past century; yet the financial success of films led to the diminished significance of the theatre at the turn of the current century. And film directors and playwrights borrow each other's devices with great frequency. This course will examine approximately 15 films about the theatre, in order to explore the relationship between the two art forms, and to glimpse visions of our theatrical past.
