Shakespeare in England A Summer Travel Course Professor Thomas Fulton Summer School Session July 7-August 2, 2014 [email protected]. Office: 025 Murray Hall Office Hours: TBA, by appointment. Centers for Global Advancement and International Affairs Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey 102 College Avenue New Brunswick, NJ 08901 [email protected] http://globaleducation.rutgers.edu/ This course studies Shakespeare on the page and on the stage. We spend two weeks reading at Rutgers, and then move to England to see these plays performed on the stages of the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare’s Birthplace) and the Globe Theatre in London. In London, we will visit such theatrical sites as the new Sam Wanamaker Playhouse (a replica of the original indoor theater) and the archaeological site of the Rose Theatre, where they perform Christopher Marlowe’s plays, as well as other dramatic venues in London. In Stratford and in London, we will explore the major sites associated with Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and study with actors, directors, and scholars associated with the major centers for Shakespearean studies and performance. Attention will be given to Shakespeare’s cultural context and contemporaries, stage interpretation, and the challenges of production and performance. General 3-credit course in four intensive weeks; also counts for credit toward the major. Travel essentials include a passport and a notebook for taking notes each day. Accommodations in Stratford provided in local Bed-and-Breakfast; in London at a University residence hall two blocks from the Thames and the theater. Course Requirements Attendance, punctuality, attentiveness, and participation. 1 page-reviews for each Shakespearean performance and other short assignments. Two 5 page papers.
