The seminar will be taught in London, for its access to the restored Globe Theater, Windsor Castle, and Shakespeare's home town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, among other resources. Though all of Shakespeare's works were set in remote times and/or places, his drama is intensely attuned to his surroundings, both to current events, contemporary social and political questions, and to the environments in which drama was performed. Being "on-site" is one of the most influential parts of this program. Students are able to see Shakespearean drama performed at the Globe and are able to visit some of the most significant venues for theatrical production. This will enrich profoundly students' understanding of how Shakespearean drama was shaped by the institutions of performance. London is a leading cultural center, with 52 theatres, 8 concert halls, 2 opera houses, and scores of museums.
This course is designed to provide an opportunity to develop a richer understanding of William Shakespeare's dramatic works by exposing students to the places in which they were first performed and the institutions that were most important to the English Renaissance theater.
The course can be taken as ENGL3000 "Shakespeare for Non-Majors." It will fulfill the Upper Division Literature & the Arts Core requirement, and so will serve non-English majors looking to fulfill a core requirement. It will also fulfill the Humanities and Social Sciences elective in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the non-business elective requirement for undergraduates in the Leeds School of Business. English majors will also be able to take the class under a different rubric (ENGL 3563 "Shakespeare") for credit towards a major requirement. "Shakespeare On-Site" will have three initial meetings in April at CU-Boulder in English department classrooms.
- The program will take place for 3 weeks in June. Attendance is required for the entire period. For information about arrival and departure, see the Program Specific Handbook at the bottom of this page.

The program is directed by Dr. David Glimp. Dr. Glimp's area of expertise is in Renaissance English literature. He has published widely in this field, including substantial work on the drama of Shakespeare, and is currently in the midst of a research project with a significant Shakespearean component. He has taught Shakespeare at the beginning and advanced undergraduate level over the course of his fifteen-year teaching career.
The program schedule is relatively busy but when you are not in class or doing a group visit you will have time to explore London. Many site visits and guided tours are included.

You will live in shared apartments in London.
Welcome and Farewell Dinners are also included in the program fee.
You are responsible for making your own transportation arrangements to London and back.
Transportation on program-related field trips while in England is provided as part of the program fee.
