Guiding Students Through Early Modern London’s Playing Spaces

With the support of a Princeton Humanities Council “Magic Grant,” I organized a 9-day trip to London, Oxford, and Stratford-upon-Avon for students in my fall 2023 seminar “The Purpose of Playing: Theater in Early Modern London.” Students visited excavated, extant, and reconstructed performance sites from the period; they also attended shows and participated in an acting workshop at Shakespeare’s Globe.
