THEA 271 - Show: Business

2 credits
A dramatic literature seminar exploring how modern theatre looks at ways of doing business, from Naturalism (Hauptman’s The Weavers) through Expressionism (Treadwell’s Machinal), Epic theatre (Brecht’s Mother Courage) and Realism (Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People). The intersection of race, gender and economy will be examined in works ranging from Shaw’s Major Barbara to Anna Deveare Smith’s Twilight. Videos may include such work as The Cradle Will Rock, Death of a Salesman and Raisin in the Sun. Students will examine readings through written analysis and group discussion. CLA-Breadth/Arts
