Western Drama to the Year 1700, THEA 351/ENG 342

This course is designed to be an in-depth examination of theatrical trends, play scripts, performance and production techniques, and relevant historical context during the time period that stretches from roughly 500 BCE to the year 1700 CE. To make this vast expanse of history understandable in the context of the world of Theatre, we will read a wide variety of plays from authors who will provide us with precise views and chronicles of their times, and view several films that will allow us to see how these older forms of Theatre are interpreted today.
