ENGL 250H - Readings in English: Contemporary British Theater-LondonSemester Hours: 3
Students in this course read, study, discuss and write about
contemporary British theater that is British drama since World War II.
Among the playwrights to be studied are Samuel Beckett, Noel Coward,
Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, David Hare, Alan Ayckbourn, Peter Shaffer,
Michael Frayn and Christopher Hampton. Since the course is taught in
London, classwork is supplemented with performances of contemporary
plays, along with the classics of world theater (depending on what is
being staged in London at the time). Classwork is augmented with
performances at the Royal National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare
Company, the West End and/or fringe performances and a backstage tour
of the Royal National Theatre. Optional theater performances are
available. The course also introduces students to the city of London as
the literary and dramatic capital of the English-speaking world. The
British Library is used as a major resource for literary research. See Study Abroad programs.
