In this course, we will read and write ghost stories. We will pay particular attention to the uses of ghosts in plays, with some diversions into film, fiction, and our own personal ghost experiences. You do not need to believe in the paranormal to take this class: we will consider traditional ghosts (the spooky kind) while also thinking more broadly about memory, absence, and loss.
One secret to great playwriting is that what you put offstage is just as important as what you put on. In this class, we will explore a variety of offstage worlds: from realistic to fantastical, from richly detailed to deliciously sparse. We will think about how playwrights bring offstage environments to life through language鈥攈ow a single image can evoke wider landscapes, how a single story can conjure vast histories.
