In this graduate seminar, students will read and discuss plays by British dramatists from Osborne, Hare, and Churchill to Kane, Stevens, and Kwei-Arme, alongside the most recent scholarship on British theatre in order to see how the contentious issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality play out on stage and get written into theatre history. Students will conduct original research in addition to weekly responses to the readings.
