Golden Age of Television Drama continues at LIU:C.W. Post

Beginning September 6th, and running for that Friday, and the following three consecutive Friday afternoons, the Fall, 2013 semester begins with my course, The Golden Age of Television Drama: The Plays of Rod Serling and Reginald Rose. Because of the positive feedback for my previous Hutton House Lectures course, Golden Age of Television Drama: A Sampler, this past Spring, and requests for a follow up course, I will now be focusing on such Rod Serling television (pre-Twilight Zone) plays as his Emmy Award winning Requiem For A Heavyweight (the second broadcast of Playhouse 90), plus two earlier plays: Patterns, and The Arena; And then, with the Studio One plays of Reginald Rose, I will focus on the celebrated Twelve Angry Men (directed by a young Franklin Schaffner), plus other Studio One plays, such as The Death and Life of Larry Benson, The Incredible Incident at Carson Corners, and Almanac of Liberty. All plays were performed and broadcast live. Come next year, I plan on presenting another follow up course, focusing on Rod Serling’s first season of The Twilight Zone.
