This course is a practical exercise in drama. During the semester a play (or plays) in English will be rehearsed to be performed in December. Towards the end of the semester, the premiere of the performance will be preceded by several days of intensive rehearsals - one or two "long weekend(s)" at University premises in Cikháj.

Students will cover the creation process from initial stages including work on the dramatic text (analysis, dramaturgy, preparation for rehearsals) to the final theatrical performance (including acting, technical support, design(s), promotion, and realization).
