His works examine universal themes like love, ambition, and jealousy, and the beauty of his poetry has transformed the English language. His plays continue to be staged around the globe and adapted into film and digital media, proving their lasting power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On this tour we\u2019ll visit places directly connected to Shakespeare. We\u2019ll walk the streets of Elizabethan London and Stratford-upon-Avon, getting a feel for the places that shaped the playwright&#8217;s world. We\u2019ll learn about Shakespeare&#8217;s personal life, his family, and the context of his work. And of course, we\u2019ll attend several performances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We start with five nights in London exploring the city, courts, and culture of the Elizabethan age. We will tour the Bankside theater district and experience what the first performances of Shakespeare\u2019s plays might have been like at the reconstructed Globe Theater and Blackfriars Theater. Guided tours of the Tower of London and Henry VIII\u2019s Hampton Court Palace will display the Tudor age in all its pomp and grandeur, politics and intrigue, and artistic achievement. Participants will have free time to discover more about London\u2019s tourism, shopping, and food culture on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, we spend three nights in Shakespeare\u2019s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, where memories of Shakespeare\u2019s life and works remain vivid. We will attend performances of the Royal Shakespeare Company and tour Shakespeare\u2019s family homes, school, and church, learning about his upbringing and education, as well as farm and small-town life in Elizabethan England.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the way to our next stop, we will tour Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden, built as a Norman keep in the 12th century and expanded by Robert Dudley, the Earl of Essex, to court Queen Elizabeth. Arriving at Oxford, where we spend three nights, we will discover the role of theater in university life during Shakespeare\u2019s time and explore the university town as his contemporaries knew it. With tours of Christ Church College and Cathedral, the Bodleian Library, and the historic Divinity School building, we will be immersed in medieval and early modern history and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re working on the pricing and other details.
