    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. This course surveys drama from the Restoration through the Romantic period, and in so doing explores arguably the most tumultuous period of Brish and American Theater history. These years saw the reopening of the theaters in London in 1660 after their having been closed through two decades of Civil War and Puritan rule. They witness the introduction of actresses to the stage, the development of scenery and the modern drop-apron stage, the establishment of theatrical monopolies in 1660 and stringent censorship in 1737, and the gradual introduction, acceptance, and eventual celebration of the stage in America. Perhaps most important, they oversaw some of the best comedies and farces in the English language, the introduction of pantomime and the two-show evening, sustained experimentation with music and spectacle on stage, and the transformation of tragedy into a star vehicle of actors and actresses like David Garrick, Sarah Siddons, John Philip Kemble, and Edmund Kean.
