Module description

This module focuses on the ground-breaking contribution made by Russian-speaking dramatists, directors and practitioners to theatre and performance, from 19th-century comedy to 21st-century New Drama. You will study key dramatic texts by writers such as Nikolai Gogol鈥�, Anton Chekhov and Liudmila Petrushevskaia, as well as their staging in society. At the same time you will engage with the theory and practice of highly influential directors such as Vsevolod Meyerhold and Konstantin Stanislavskii, and take into consideration choreography, music, set design and audience reception as vital components of a theatre production. Lectures on the key texts are combined with student-led seminars in which the texts and their contexts are discussed and analysed.
