SUMMER STUDIES ABROAD | JULY 2-AUG. 11

Theater Studies is offering the following course with the English Department through the Emory British Studies Program. For more detail, including application deadline and requirements, visit the CIPA Web site.

THEA 389R/ENG 389R: 20th Century British Theater
Description: 4 credit hours.
Pat Miller

This seminar (limit: 12 students) examines plays that reflect changing views of race, gender, and class in 20th-century British theater. The social context surrounding the original productions, the work of the artists who shaped them, and the evolving role of government censorship and subsidy will shape the inquiry. The controversial first production of George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession provides background for the study of twelve additional plays produced between 1950 and the present. Students will read and discuss scripts, maintain a journal, and prepare a final project selected from one of the works as the culmination of the course. Several optional field trips will be organized to theater performances in Oxford, Stratford, and London. The London trip will include a visit to the Theatre Museum.(Summer 2007)
