THEA 383 - British Political Drama4 credits
Under the premise that all theatre has a political dimension and works its influence on audiences both overtly and subversively, this course is designed to take advantage of the huge variety of productions available in London venues (not necessarily conventional theatre spaces), with a focus on the political questions they raise for twenty-first century audiences. Because the 1960s saw big changes on the theatrical scene in Britain it is taken as a starting point, and we see what we can of the playwrights who helped form our present day theatre through the twentieth century. Because it does not operate in a vacuum, appropriate plays may be chosen from other periods and cultures that address crucial global, social and political issues. Signature of instructor required for registration. Same as: ENGL 383 . Offered fall semester. CLA-Breadth/Arts, CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Off Campus Experience
