This six-week course will consider theatre and drama from its earliest beginnings with the Greeks to the modern-day stage.
How did it start and who still doesn’t do much of it around the world? Most of us now take it for granted that it’s bound to be there, not least hanging on our bedroom walls or taking up living room space!
