4.00 Credits
This course is designed as a practical approach to the study of dra- matic literature. Since the emphasis of such a course is to read for production and performance, rather than for academic research, the course will focus on a limited number of plays from the world repertoire. These plays will be covered in depth in class as hypothetical production projects. Each play project will require external research: reading and writing assignments; it will also require students to participate in individual and group exercises, reports or demonstrations in class.
