Unit Description

This unit deals with the challenges faced by theatre practitioners working on plays from the past, as a consequence of changes in theatre conventions and social contexts; and the development of appropriate modern approaches to the performance of classic plays. The unit examines scripts and their contexts from the European tradition from the Greeks to the 19th century. There is no residential school for this unit.
