Analyzing Contemporary Plays

Playwrights do many things. They philosophize, entertain, reflect on current events, and break new ground. This course will deal with recent plays that have become headliners, award winners, and critical successes. We will study how they work, how they differ from earlier forms, and whether they deserve their accolades. Mostly we will get close up, imagining staging and acting, to bring them to life in the stages of our minds. Members will prepare for class by reading the plays and coming to class ready to dig in.
