The word “drama” derives from the Greek term for “to do” or “achieve”: this course considers texts designed to come alive on stage. The diversity of dramatic forms is explored through in-depth study of texts from different historical periods and cultures. Students examine questions related to the script, its performance, and its reception, as well as the ways in which the material and social conditions have influenced the development of the genre.
