ARTT-345 War & Peace: History in Drama
Offered academic year 2007-2008
Staff
This interdisciplinary seminar considers plays that deal with war and peace, beginning with the Trojan War and spanning into the 20th Century. By considering how playwrights have interpreted history, typically their own, this intensive seminar provides a window into cultural history, the civic role of theater in society, and the art of playwriting. The seminar will include plays by Euripudes, Shakespeare, Ruzzante, O’Casey, Brecht, Chekhov, Friel, Churchill, McGuiness, Wertenbaker, and others. The format will rely heavily on student engagement with the material, and include regular filmviewings as well as seminar papers. Students from across the University are encouraged to join this advanced seminar; some slots will be dedicated to Theater Minors.
