THEA 0262 - Theatre History: Renaissance to Romanticism

This course is an interdisciplinary study of the development, continuum, and evolution of Western theatre in a world cultural context.

The relationship of Western theatre to Eastern examples, the development of the theatre as a physical structure, the development of various concepts of character and dramaticaction, and the changing relationship of life on the stage to life off the stage will be examined through the study of selected dramatists, theoreticians, directors, designers, and performers.
