Thanks for posting the itinerary. Two questions: What is London Alive? And you mentioned Macbeth--will we be seeing the play on our daytrip to Stratford? (I really hope so!)
London Alive events are activities planned by each professor/instructor for students to choose from each night. Dr. Welsh and I are planning a literary pub crawl.
We are seeing MacBeth in Stratford. I quite excited about that myself. I saw Twelfth Night at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre years ago, but MacBeth has always been my favorite.
That sounds fun! I am sooo glad we are seeing MacBeth! MacBeth and Iago are the greatest villains!
Will we have much free time at Oxford? I'd like to take a guided C.S. Lewis/Tolkien tour. I need to reserve a spot.
