We are on our way to Heathrow now. We had a lovely time in Stratford-upon-Avon, concluding with an amazing dinner at the Vintner restaurant on Sheep Street. Everyone, from the Mercure Shakespeare hotel to the practitioners at the Royal Shakespeare company make us feel like we always will be welcome here. These photos are from our farewell dinner and from our visit to Shakespeare's birthplace.
Today we are getting our bearings, learning important terms related to British Drama, discussing British Dramatic Genre, and discussing the first text that we are seeing: Pinocchio .
We spent our day immersed in 17th century London and its reconstruction--the Globe Theatre on the South Bank. After a tour of the theatre, a visit to the exhibition (and gift shop), and a costume demonstration, we had a lunch at the Midle Temple Hall in the Inns of Court. No pictures are allowed in the Middle Temple, so today's pictures are of the group outside the Globe and of Jenna Burke being transformed into Lady Ophelia. The group photo includes our CEPA coordinator Greer, to whom our students have grown mightily attached.
