    Description
    This course studies the history and development of theatre and drama, from the 5th century to the 17th century. From pre-civilization to the present day, theatre has served a variety of functions within different cultures and societies. Throughout history we can see how the theatre changes in response to the changing needs and concerns of a given culture. Our goal for this course is to help you begin to understand and articulate the relationship between theatre and society.
