Join Professor Jim Hansen (English) on this immersion into the theatre and culture of London, England. From its 16th Century origins, the West End has evolved into the largest theatre district in the world.
The group will stay in the West End and attend three plays – Antigone at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, Six at the Arts Theatre, and Merry Wives of Windsor at the Globe Theatre. We will also visit Windsor Castle, The Tower of London, see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, go on an afternoon walking tour of the Theatre District, Trafalgar, Charring Cross, and The Strand. We will visit Hampton Court (the residence of Cardinal Woolsey, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Charles II), tour Westminster Abbey, take a train to Oxford and Blenheim Palace, and tour the National Gallery of Art.
