Shakespeare's Globe Education Program: Courses

All the World’s a Stage: Audience, Architecture and Action at Shakespeare’s Globe (3)
The course will focus on the material and cultural contexts of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and on the history and process of construction of both the original and the reconstructed Globe Theatres.

Practical classes will be enhanced by workshops with actors and directors participating in the Summer Season of plays at the Globe. The course will examine the historical and current value of Shakespeare’s plays through a practical examination of text and language, performance space, the materials of theater practice and the unique relationship between actors and audience at the Globe.

By the end of the summer course, it is hoped that students will have attained a new appreciation of theatrical processes and have developed their own understanding of Shakespearean drama through performance.
