Eight Great Mysteries for the Stage
This course was available in the past and may be presented again as part of the Open Enrollment curriculum.
Mysteries and thrillers written expressly for the theatre provide edge-of-the-seat entertainment while enriching our understanding of human nature. They can be filled with twists and turns, clues and conflicts, but can also speak to larger issues involving the body politic. In this class we will examine eight plays of suspense that have enthralled audiences around the world including work by J.B. Priestly, Agatha Christie, Harold Pinter, Anthony Shaffer, Ira Levin, David Hare, Charles Fuller and Mary Shelley.
