Overview
The Summer Shakespeare course will be discussion-based, each session being introduced and led by experienced tutors who will have access to a wide range of stimulating audio/visual resources to illustrate the themes being explored.
There will be 2 discussion sessions, each session lasting 1.5 hours, on four mornings each week of the course.
Excursions
- A guided full-day excursion each week, one to London and the Globe Theatre, the second to Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare and home to the Royal Shakespeare Company, will both include a performance of a Shakespeare play.
- A further full-day excursion during the mid-course weekend will take in Lavenham and Kentwell Hall in Suffolk, both wonderful examples of life in Tudor and Elizabethan England.
- An inclusive half-day visit to Burghley House in Stamford, reputed to be England’s finest Elizabethan House, and an evening performance at Tolethorpe Hall – “one of England’s premier alfresco theatre venues” – will add still further to the cultural experience of the course.
- Stamford Academy also arranges two evening activities each week which are open free of charge to all of its students.
