Waiting for Godot. The Importance of Being Earnest. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Since Shakespeare's time, no period has produced more brilliant and varied theater in Great Britain than its last 100 years. For Modern British Drama, Professor Peter Saccio has selected the major British playwrights of the past century to cover: Wilde, Shaw, Coward, Beckett, Osborne, Pinter, Stoppard, Churchill, and Hare. Through their masterful plays, you explore the fascinating ways that drama can celebrate (or satirize) the manners of the elite, assault the socio-political establishment, probe the existential anxiety of the modern age, and more.
