ENG 350 Modern Drama

Concentrates on the revolution in the theater that occurred with the establishment of the so-called "people's theater" in France, in Germany, and in Russia during the late 19th century. By exploring the themes, characterizations, and styles (both literary and theatrical) of playwrights such as Ibsen, Chekov, Strindberg, Shaw, O'Casey, Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Sartre, Beckett, Brecht, and Arthur Miller, students will appreciate the diversity and the difficulty in understanding what is "modern" in modern drama.
