Course Title:
Contemporary British Theatre
Course Description:
Introduces students to a variety of texts, performances, and theatrical venues that reflect the vitality of contemporary British theatre. London has around 100 theatres, of which 15 are occupied by subsidized companies. Large commercial theatres, offering a variety of light entertainment, musicals, and comedies, can be found in the West End. Off-West End productions may feature plays with more individual themes. The most innovative and experimental work is usually found in the “fringe” theatres. This course samples all these modes of production and offers a consideration of state subsidy for theatre within a critical framework. Students are expected to analyze and comment critically upon various shows in performance.
