Play Story Analysis

(4 Credits)

This text analysis course is designed to provide a platform for an in-depth study of how the story of a play is presented. This class will be an “anthology” of different works, each selected for a different aspect of storytelling, or it will center around a single playwright’s (or group of playwrights’) work, exploring how the stylistic choices, themes, and dramatic devices reveal themselves within the body of work. The course is designed to better help students organize their own narratives by analyzing the techniques employed by various playwrights in constructing their plays.
