This course is designed to introduce students to dramas - across history and cultures - that have influenced major trends in theatre. In doing so, students will engage a range of dramatic texts from classical and contemporary dramas to adaptations and revisions of canonical works. Students will study and discuss a sampling of plays that exemplify an array of genres and forms resulting in the student’s ability to make connections between a text’s form and its context.
