THEA 215 Reading Contemporary Drama, or Turn of This Century Drama (Same as Comparative Literature 215) (Not offered 2008-2009; to be offered 2009-2010)
The medium of theatre is both ancient and, paradoxically, perhaps our most fluid and immediate. What do our plays say about our world today? Join a working playwright in reading the new plays she finds most vital and exciting, including the work of Caryl Churchill, Suzan-Lori Parks, Tom Stoppard, and Paula Vogel, as well as brand new voices, including plays so new they're not yet published.
Format: seminar. Evaluation: Students will be expected to respond to these plays both in written assignments and in-class discussions.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limited: 15 (expected: 10). Preference given to Theatre majors.
