Course objectives
A one-term course of the history of foreign drama specialized to the Austrian post-war drama, particularly between the 60s to the 90s of the 20th century, with overlaps to the post-war period and to the turn of the 20th and the 21st century. This is an important culture-politic phenomenon in the period when drama with its new forms represented not only artistic but also social protest against present society and the war background with insufficient reflection.
