This field trip offers students a chance to explore London as the historical and cultural capital of the English-speaking world. It constitutes a regular course and combines aspects of language, literature, and culture. It will be conducted in English throughout (the immersion experience). Our main objective will be to see as many plays and theatres as is possible during our visit. Apart from play-going (the final selection of plays will be announced as theatre schedules become available during the winter), we will study the theatre scene as such by exploring different venues and their role and significance for English theatre history as a whole, e.g., the Royal Court (experimental and contemporary), the National Theatre (theatre for the nation), the West End (commercial). We will also participate in a Shakespeare workshop at the reconstructed Globe Theatre. There will be optional visits to the major sights of London and to those museums which hold a special appeal to students of British culture (e.g. Museum of London, British Museum, British Library).
