The course aims to a) develop familiarity with from the canons of modern and pot-modern drama; b) equip students with knowledge and skills of dramaturgy; and c) provide students with a critical understanding of and practical experience in dramaturgical work. Co-taught with THEA 205. 100% internal assessment.
