THEA 307 World Dramatic Literature
This survey course focuses on plays and theatre practices outside of traditional Western (European-American) theatre studies. Students will be introduced to classic and contemporary works of dramatic literature from Asia, Africa, and South America. Course lectures, discussions, and assignments will explore not only dramatic structures and themes, but also how these works are situated in terms of national, cultural, religious, political, historical, and artistic traditions. Plays, playwrights, and topics covered are subject to change each time the course is offered based on faculty expertise and global events.
