Description

The program is a two-week seminar in London in January, covering the historic and cultural traditions inherent in British Theatre. Program directors will select plays which offer unique insight into those traditions as seen in the theatre. The seminar will discuss six plays in depth. Other plays are added to the seminar as they become available. Tickets will include the best available at venues ranging from West End to Fringe to experimental Theatres.

Ample free time is provided for seminar members to discover their own London or to pursue special interests that they may have. Whether at the Food Halls of Harrods or Fortnum and Mason's; or the designer's shops on King's Road; or the outdoor antique booths on Portabello Road; or "grunge" stalls at Camden Lock; or the elegant Victorian interiors of public houses (pubs), participants are encouraged to come away with a special insight into this culture.

Highlights

Within London students visit the Actor's Church in Covent Garden, the Globe Theatre, the National Theatre and Camden Lock. Trips are planned outside the city, previous programs visited Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Greenwich or Windsor.
