London Theater - From Shakespeare to the West End

July 24, 2016 - July 31, 2016

Explore London’s most renowned museums, from the Wallace Collection and Tate Britain showing classic works of art to the Tate Modern with its emphasis on modern art. Roam freely along the fortifications and gardens of Windsor Castle, home to English Monarchs for almost a thousand years. London’s theatrical tradition can be traced back to medieval mystery plays held in streets, markets and cathedrals, when “all the world” – at least all of London – truly was a stage. Under Queen Elizabeth London’s theater scene flourished, prompted by royal support for the arts and the works of famed artisans such as Nicholas Hilliard and William Shakespeare. Experience this rich theatrical history for yourself by taking in three theater performances. Finish your visit to England with a tour of one of the biggest mysteries known to man – Stonehenge, then explore the luxurious Bath, a Roman spa.
