Description:

Students study the diverse and often politically charged plays from around the non-English speaking world. Most of the plays are post 1950, and come from such places as Nigeria, South Africa, India, and Chile. While reading selected plays, students learn a critical vocabulary unique to theatre, and study the play as performance. Specific content may vary from year to year.
