Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this workshop we will analyse plays by contemporary dramatists which are performed, in translation, in Viennese theatres in the current season 2007/2008. Among the plays staged in Vienna are such modern classics as Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Tom Stoppard's Travesties as well as very recent dramas which are produced in Austria for the first time (Neil LaBute's This is how it goes and Mark Ravenhill's pool (no water)). We will focus on aesthetic issues such as structure, character construction, thematic concerns and theatrical styles as well as the reception of the plays.
We will also go and see one or the other production. Moreover, in one of the sessions a dramaturg from the Volkstheater will introduce us to the intricacies of the production process in the theatre, from the text to the stage.
Requirements for credit: regular attendance, active participation in class, one oral presentation, final essay.
