Contemporary Anglophone Drama

3^rd Semester

 

 

This introductory course examines the modern drama of the Anglophone peoples within the social and historical conditions of the 20th century and especially in connection with the specificity of theatre as a medium different from other arts and literary genres. Special attention is therefore paid to the conventions that dictate the modern dramatic text in its divergence from fiction and to the performance as a signifying process. At the same time, a development is emphatically traced in 20^th-century drama from Realism to the Theatre of the Absurd, The lesson aspires to make the students aware of the dramatic text as a complex system that on the one hand, includes its own representation, especially in the stage directions, and, on the other, it is traversed by the historical moment of its production.

Plays:

George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion (1913).

Harold Pinter, The Dumb Waiter (1957).

………………, The Birthday Party (1957)

Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot (1948).
