Course content

During each three-week session, you will take on intensive module. These modules will be worth 20 UK credits. In addition to your in-class sessions, most modules will incorporate field trips, offering you the chance to explore areas of London relevant to your studies.

You will live and learn on our beautiful parkland campus and have access to all the University's support services as well as a dedicated study abroad team.

What can productions of Shakespeare’s plays tell us about today’s London theatreland? We’ll see productions of Shakespeare and/or his contemporaries and use that experience to explore the plays themselves, the links between the Renaissance and the present day, and Shakespeare’s place in the London theatre industry. Together we will sample the state-of-play of Shakespeare in London, exploring very different kinds of productions of three plays to investigate the London theatre's energetic and often irreverent response to Shakespeare and Renaissance dramatists. This will involve thinking about questions of access and representation for marginalised communities’ engagement with Shakespeare, and we’ll think about questions of casting among others. This module is for you if you’re enthusiastic about drama and the theatre industry, want to expand your knowledge of Shakespeare and performance, or if you’re thinking about working in any part of the cultural or heritage industries.
