Synopsis This subject introduces students to the ways in which meanings are communicated in the theatre, by a close study of selected plays. It is based on the assumption that the study of any theatrical text is incomplete if it is not related to models of performance, whether those are historical or contemporary, actual or hypothetical; the seminars will normally involve intensive work on particular sequences from the prescribed plays, and students have the chance to be involved in a production which is an optional part of the subject. For further details see the entry for ENH1060 in the Department of English.
