15-SKT-TD-11
This
course is part and parcel of the Theatre and Drama in English Programme. The
main aim of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge of William
Shakespeare’s most well-known plays as well as the conventions of Elizabethan
and Jacobean theatre. Theatre conventions and practices, the
structure of playhouses as well as key themes in early modern drama will be
discussed. Students will learn how certain dramatic conventions are presented
on stage and how they can be translated into another medium (e.g. film). The
ability to read early modern texts as well as reference literature will be
practiced. Having completed the course students will be aware of the continuity
of historical processes but also the overwhelming impact of political and
ideological circumstances on the formation of human identity.
