This course examines how theatre interrogates power, governance, and democratic life. Using theatrical texts as case studies, students will analyze how civic systems, political authority, public discourse, and collective decision-making are represented, challenged, and disrupted onstage. The course emphasizes discussion, close reading, critical analysis, and comparative study rather than performance. No prior theatre experience is required. This course is suited for students interested in examining how political power and civic systems function through language, behavior, and institutional dynamics.
