This course introduces students to the value of modern to postmodern theatre texts, performances, history, and theories from the mid-20th century to the millennium. We will examine work created from around the world through theoretical, practical, sociopolitical, and cultural lenses and discuss how it is in conversation with each other. By the conclusion of this course, you will have the working tools to communicate about the relevance of modern drama and theatre and further developed skills in research, inquiry, and analysis. Effective Spring 2025, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU Hub areas: Global Citizenship and Intercultural Literacy, Research and Information Literacy, Writing-Intensive Course.
