GREAT PLAYS: RENAISSANCE TO CONTEMPORARY HONORS

Catalog description

This reading and discussion course studies significant plays from the major eras of world drama, from the 18th century to contemporary works. The course traces the development of the play in themes, characterization, and dramatic structure considering philosophical and cultural backgrounds and production styles that have influenced the staging of plays. In this honors course student writing assignments are more rigorous than in the non-honors course. Topics covered in more depth than the standard course may include acting, directing or stagecraft. Credit may be earned in either TA 26 or 26H, but not both.
