Description

The Duke University Department of Theater Studies, English Department, and Global Education Office for Undergraduates (GEO-U) offer a six-week, two-course summer program. The Duke in London Drama Program offers intensive study of drama in performance in the theater capital of the world. Students take classes and live in a residence hall at the University College London (UCL), located in the center of London.

Highlights

The program is based on the assumption that the only way to study drama properly is by seeing performances, not just reading scripts. Students in the program see and study more than twenty productions. In addition to classes offering background on and discussion of the plays seen, students come to understand the writing, directing and acting process through their classes with the London faculty, as well as famous directors, playwrights, designers and actors, and through participation in scene work.

Past guests have included actors Lynn Redgrave, Samuel West, Juliet Stevenson, Kevin Spacey, Roger Rees, Alex Jennings, Toby Stephens, Linus Roache, Daniel Evans, and Sophie Thompson; directors Marianne Elliott, John Caird, Matthew Warchus, Phyllida Lloyd, Peter Gill, and Deborah Warner; playwrights Lee Hall, Samuel Adamson and Martin Sherman; and theater composer Gary Yershon

There is no prerequisite for the program except the desire to learn more about drama and theater and the commitment to participate actively in the program. The program is open to all majors.
