Cíle předmětu
The course focuses on American drama written from 1945 to 2000, and it presents developments in American theatre of this period. It offers an insight into some of the landmark dramatic texts of the era and it critically examines theatrical practices. It deals with classical, mainstream authors as well as with more experimental and minority authors. The list of covered authors includes: A. Miller, T. Williams, E. Albee, D. Mamet, S. Shepard, L. Hansberry, A. Baraka, and others. Participants will get a chance to read carefully and critically the selected plays, study relevant secondary texts (studies, reviews and playbills), and watch excerpts from theatre performances. In the class they will confront their findings and views with their colleagues in discussion.

Class Participation: 20%.

In this journal, you should present a statement concerning the week’s reading and support it with evidence. It should serve as a starting point for class discussion.
