Irish drama reflects the intense political and cultural conflicts central to the country's fascinating history. In this course, we will study archetypal characters, abiding themes, and the powerful blend of tragedy and comedy in Irish plays. We will encounter influential works spanning the years 1902 to 2001, including plays by W.B. Yeats (CATHLEEN NI HOULIHAN), Lady Augusta Gregory (THE RISING OF THE MOON), J.M. Synge (THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD), Samuel Beckett (WAITING FOR GODOT), Brian Friel (TRANSLATIONS), Marina Carr (BY THE BOG OF CATS) and Martin McDonagh (THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE). We will also view great Irish films with historical and thematic connections to the play texts. This writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement.
