This site-based, four-week, summer course abroad examines the current theater scene in London and the artistic and historical legacy that has led to it. Through attending plays, visiting historical and cultural landmarks, classroom lecture and discussion, and writing exercises, we will study representative plays from the Elizabethan era up to the present day. Particular emphasis will be placed on the theatre of William Shakespeare and on recent trends in British playwriting. While the course is classroom-based, our primary 'text' will be the city of London itself, the theatre capital of the English-speaking world. Attending theatre productions (and writing and talking about them) is central to the course.
