October 5-9, 2026: London Drama Course "Four Plays in Five Days"

This is the continuation of Peter Storfer’s “5 plays in 5 days”. Still in the same spirit but in a slightly new format, you will discover four plays of different periods, see them on stage, get an insight into the process from the page to the stage. Not only will you get an idea of theatre tradition in London but you will also have the opportunity to meet people from the theatre world. Here is the comment of a former participant: “It was a truly wonderful course looking at 4 plays from various angles and going to watch them at different London theatres. We met with 2 actors, a writer and a stage manager! I would recommend it to all our teachers.”

Everybody who is interested in theatre is welcome.
