"• Weekly visits to cultural sites and performances • Four-week work placement in theaters in London • Behind the scenes tours of theaters • Meetings with British producers, designers and stage managers"

Setting Description:

London is quite simply one of the most exciting cities on earth. It is the center of everything British—culture, politics, finance, history, and royalty—but also a world capital with a huge multinational population. “When a man [or woman] is tired of London, he is tired of life,” said 18th-century author Samuel Johnson, and the quote is just as true today.
