This module juxtaposes a range of texts, non-chronologically, from the medieval period to the 1980s. It aims to highlight the variety and expressive potential of genre, dramatic form, language, narrative and dramatic debate. The course offers a critical assessment of the 'problem play' and the 'play of ideas' and the recurrence of non-linear narrative in 20th century drama. The course alternates between seminars and workshops, plus 3 revision sessions.
Practical sessions will consider a variety of approaches to texts in order to 'make the word active'. These approaches include staging, verse-speaking, montage and character development. There is a practical assessment at the end of the spring term. Students are assigned to a group, and must be prepared to arrange rehearsal times with other members of the group during Term two.
The module is taught by alternating seminars with practical workshops, the work from one complementing the other. These seemingly diverse texts are explored analytically, critically and practically, in order to exploit fully the links and connections between them.

This module is taught by alternating seminars and practical workshops, the work from one complementing the other. Texts are explored analytically, critically and in practical workshop, with the work of theatre theorists borne in mind.
