Course Description

This course examines the history of theatre through close study of the world's greatest plays from ancient theatre from Greek tragedy through the 18th century. Theatre has the potential to make visceral connections with the audience through universal themes. How were these plays performed then, and how are they performed now?  What are their political, social, and cultural urgencies in each context? We will closely read the play texts as well as watch filmed theatre productions.

Putting our study of history into practical application, students will investigate the role dramaturgy plays in preparing an audience to see a classic play. What makes a play a “classic”? What makes a classic play worthy of a contemporary production? What research is relevant and reliable? What is relevant to consider about the context in which each play was written? How can a production of a classic play benefit from dramaturgical analysis and contextualization? What research aids theatre makers and audience members alike?

This course fulfills the Discovery requirement in the category of Fine and Performing Arts. It also fulfills Writing Intensive requirements. There are no prerequisites and students do not need to have any prior theatre experience.
