Annotation
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the development of modern British drama dating from the first decades of the 20th century (G. B.
Shaw) and Irish drama (John Millington Synge, Sean O'Casey), through the experimental and engagé dramas of the 1930s to the many-faceted developments after World War II ("angry young men", "theatre of the absurd", social criticism of the British drama of the 1960s to the 90s, feminist, and "cool" drama).
