Cíle předmětu
It aims to give a deep understanding of the artistic development of the genre, and of the mechanisms that allowed for ground-breaking shifts in the British dramatic tradition, some of which are extrinsic to the dramatic texts. Finally, it considers current developments by searching for the possible “new RCT” by considering achievements of some of the greatest theatre festivals, the fringe, and the Finborough Theatre.
Osnova
  • This course looks into the history of the British Drama from the perspective of the influence of one of the most innovative theatres in Britain – The Royal Court Theatre in London. It covers the main corner stones of the development of the modern British dramatic tradition with special attention to performances produced on the stages of the RCT. It looks into the works of dramatists associated with the RCT and the English Stage Company. It also brings an insight into the working of RCT and personalities associated with it, as well as the theatre’s interrelations with other stages through analyses of their collaboration. Besides studying the main personalities among 20th century British dramatists, it deals with other important theatre figures, such as artistic directors, directors and actors. It further introduces other important institutions that influenced the development of British drama, such as the National Theatre, but also small independent groups, such as Forced Entertainment, and the culture of theatre festivals, such as The Fringe.
