This course aims to engage the student in the consideration of the unique qualities of performed work. The interrelationship of drama to religious practices, the establishment of ritual and the demand for entertainment coalesce into something that is a distinctive ingredient of every culture. The broad perspective considers both Greek tragedy and comedy, juxtaposed with medieval farce; as well as blood-curdling Renaissance tragedies and sexually charged Restoration comedies, proletarian morality plays and compelling views of modern emancipated life. All of these provide a rich landscape against which we consider the unique qualities of drama, as well as the ways in which performance reaches a broad audience. What is the relationship of the playwright to his or her audience? What are the most effective ways to convert the viewers and readers to the playwright's value scheme? Readings may include works of Sophocles, Aristophanes, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Chekhov and O'Neill. Same as ENG 50. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
