A Century of British and Irish Drama

A Century of British and Irish Drama is an Interdisciplinary Arts course taught by Talya Kingston.

Course Description
This course will take a close look at plays written in Britain and Ireland over the last century, exploring works by playwrights such as John M. Synge, George Bernard Shaw, Shelagh Delaney, Harold Pinter, Carol Churchill, Brian Friel and Martin McDonagh. Each week will be devoted to a different playwright.
