The study of the performance event, and of dramatic texts and theatre theories, provides insights into human experience and places these experiences in the context of society. This unit provides students with an introductory overview of some of the major plays, theories and historical features of the modern era in drama. Texts will be drawn from the European performance traditions. Continuing on from Introduction to the History and Theory of Drama 1, the unit will develop students' ability to formulate and present academic arguments on the drama.
