ENG 165: Tragic Drama: From Ancient Greece to the Present Day


Units: 4

Read plays written thousands of years ago as well as very recently, all while exploring the questions of what makes a play a tragedy, and what function tragedy serves for the many times and places that produce this genre of drama. In addition to exploring tragic plays as literature, the class considers drama’s performative possibilities by watching both filmed productions and optional student-performed presentations.
