London
Theatre – Plays in Performance
This central London course combines the
pleasure of world class theatre, enthusiastic teaching and
stimulating contact with theatre professionals, in the company
of theatre- goers from all over the world. You can attend
both weeks or either one. A high standard of spoken English
is essential to benefit fully from this course.
Each day there will be a flexible programme
of discussion groups and visiting speakers between 10.00am
and 3.45pm. For our visits to the theatre, the best available
seats will be obtained. Details of the plays to be studied
and a short reading list will be sent to members in June.
Some evenings each week will be left free for you to visit
other productions if you wish.
Accommodation
Resident members will have single study bedrooms in the International Hall of Residence
in Bloomsbury, within a few minutes' walk from Birkbeck.
Please note that this Faculty will not take responsibility
for arranging any additional or special accommodation beyond
the initial booking. Additional requests should be made directly
