Curtain Time in London
The lights dim and the voices hush. The curtain rises and you're swept away by the performance on stage.
London's theater scene has something for every audience. Tragedies, comedies and musicals. Long-running favorites and groundbreaking debuts. You'll explore theater's roots at Shakespeare's Globe and learn about its present and future during backstage tours and lectures. And of course, London is a show in its own right.
