This course, along with its companion course, Survey of Modern Drama are designed to give you an overview of the different kinds of plays that have occupied the stage over the long and varied history of the theatrical art form. They do not provide an exhaustive study of each and every period, but rather they are designed to allow you to "check in" with various significant movements and trends. There is also an invitation to question the "western cannon" and what is considered classical or worthy work and to consider how these plays remain relevant to modern audiences.

The hope is that you'll come away from the course with both knowledge of the defining characteristics of many types of drama, and also an appreciation of how the particular form resulted from the social, economic and philosophical concerns of its time.
