We will read all the major tragedies and comedies and go to whatever productions are playing during the semester. The class will emphasize understanding the action of the plays, what an audience cares about, and the imagination it takes to realize these plays on stage. You will be required to use not only your imagination, but also your artistic skills to probe the plays. By the end of the semester everyone should have a good sense that these plays don't exist on the page, but in the many, many different ways that people interpret and produce them. There will be a number of easy quizzes, a few memorization exercises, a design project and a final paper.
