The works of Restoration playwrights and more recent writers such as Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Elizabeth Robins, and Noel Coward challenge an audience’s understanding of the social contract, while also demanding that actors deliver sophisticated texts and fulfill a particular sense of style. This course will explore scenes from these playwrights among others, with an emphasis on clear delivery and vibrant, immediate performance choices.
