المسرحية المعاصرة

This course examines the development of modern drama since the late nineteenth century to the present time. It investigates issues and themes related to the age of modernism and how they are reflected in representative dramatic texts. This course focuses on a critical reading of these selected plays in the light of socio-historical and cultural setting. In addition to the introductory and theoretical background, students will study three plays over the semester: one play from each collection of representative plays.
