This course will explore the intersection of poetry and drama, from Euripides, Shakespeare, and Moliere to modern verse plays by Derek Walcott and Caryl Churchill. We’ll also look at some modern plays about poets and poetry—such as Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia and The Invention of Love and Sarah Ruhl’s Euridice. Finally, we’ll examine the poetry of prose speech in such playwrights as David Mamet and August Wilson. Students will write their own scenes in poetic drama.
