We will explore the astonishing range of dramatic experimentation that redefined the theater in the past one hundred fifty years.听听After getting a feel for the forms behind modern drama such as the well-made play, historical tragedy, and the melodrama, we will read plays that define realism and naturalism, symbolism and expressionism, various forms of avant-garde performance, modernism and post-modernism.听听We will work together to tackle such authors as Henrik Ibsen, George Bernard Shaw, Eugene O鈥橬eill, Samuel Beckett, Suzan Lori Parks, and Caryl Churchill.
