THEA 331 — Play Analysis and Interpretation II
Theatre Arts · University of Ghana
This course begins with a basic argument that one type of analysis cannot fit every play and neither can one interpretive model fit every artist or collaborative team. The course journeys through the historical foundations of play analysis and the conditions that necessitated the development of alternative analytical approaches to play scripts. These alternative approaches go beyond intellectual and critical analysis to incorporate visceral approaches, which are useful to actors, directors and designers. Students will be introduced to Formalist, Historical, Biographical, Philosophical, Sociological, Psychological (Freud) analysis, and Feminist Literary Criticism as these approaches are applied to selected plays.
