Dramatic Literature
Have you ever wondered how an actor approaches a script? In this course students will read plays and perform dramatic selections from various playwrights (Shakespeare to Wilde). Drama's significance and impact as a literary genre will be explored on the page through reading, discussion, and written analysis, as well as through the students' own performances and the viewing of noteworthy performances on film.
