This course will study drama as it is meant to be explored--on the page and on the stage. We begin our analysis of the drama with discussion on campus and then travel to see productions of the plays. In our post-production discussions and writing, we will consider the choices made in production and the impact of that on our reading of the plays. A frequent destination for the course will be New York City, but we may also travel to Stratford, Ontario, or other sites, for productions as well.
