FAS 248 - Theatre History II

3 credits

Prerequisite(s): FAS 147  
The course traces the evolution in the nineteenth century of theatrical and dramatic conventions that affect how we perform theatre in contemporary times, including melodrama, the "well-made play," and scenic realism. We will then investigate the development of, and the interaction between, four approaches to theater that dominated most of the twentieth century: popular theatre, psychological realism, subjective theater (culminating in the Theater of Cruelty), and political (epic) theater. We will conclude by examining the way that postmodernism and post-colonialism have challenged underlying assumptions of European modernism.
