Meets requirement: W
Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard routinely make the short list of Britain’s greatest playwrights; Pinter was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2005, and Stoppard has only won multiple drama awards but was knighted in 1997. While both playwrights were recognized almost immediately for their theatrical style, their later works got increasingly ambitious and political. This course will involve an in-depth examination of their theatrical careers. Satisfies departmental Reading X and Drama/Transmedia requirements.
