Ancient Page to Modern Stage

6 ch · Undergraduate

Explore and experiment with the rich possibilities for bringing ancient texts to life on the modern stage. Participate in the adaptation and production of an ancient tragedy or comedy on the UNB campus. Design and complete an independent project focused on your individual interests in ancient literature and a theatre discipline of your choice (e.g., script writing, design, direction). Both halves of the course are completed under the supervision of the instructor. Students should have prior familiarity with either ancient literature or drama.
