ENGL 184G - Issues: Contemporary British Theater–LondonSemester Hours: 3 s.h.
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, John Osborne,
Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, David Hare, Alan Ayckbourn, Peter Shaffer,
Michael Frayn and Christopher Hampton. Since the course will be taught
in London, classwork will be 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 will be
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. The course will include
four theater performances. Optional theater performances are available
as well. The course will introduce students to the city of London as
the literary and dramatic capital of the English speaking world. The
British Library will be used as a major resource for literary research.
