ENGL 354 - Contemporary British and American Drama

FDR: HL
Credits: 3

Prerequisites: Take one English course between 201 and 295, and one between 222 and 299. This course examines both the masterpieces and undiscovered gems of English language theater from Samuel Beckett to the present. The course investigates contemporary movements away from naturalism and realism towards the fantastical, surreal, and spectacular. Student presentations, film screenings, and brief performance exercises supplement literary analysis of the plays, though no prior drama experience is presumed. Pickett.
