TA 33500 Modern Drama

GE-Human Culture: Literature/Human Diversity This course is a study of modern and contemporary drama from Ibsen to the present, including realistic, naturalistic, symbolistic, poetic, expressionist, existentialist, absurdist, "epic." and experimental plays. The background and culture of the playwright and the ways in which both influence their writing, as well as the style of the writing, will be included in the study of each play. Special attention is paid to the evolution of theatrical style and form, and the ways in which we see it modeled in popular film, theatre, television, and animation. This course is not open to students with credit in ENGL 33500.
