Theatre History

Student testimonials

“The programme is truly interdisciplinary, with equal attention being given to both the theatre and history side, which is exactly what I signed up for - full of stimulating debate, different ways of interpretation and engaging theory!  One of my favourite things is the diverse range of backgrounds/subjects areas/opinions: the range of different practitioners coming into research methods has been helpful as it has generated ideas for thesis research that I would not have previously thought about. In general, I must say that the teaching and the structure of class is fantastic. The teaching staff are truly inspiring, and the way active debate is encouraged and led in each class has kept me fully engaged and continues to excite me about my subject.

I am looking forward to the archive placement!! The chance to produce such a rich body of professional work prior to graduation is so incredibly exciting and a great privilege, and of course will be glowing on a CV.  It will be a great opportunity to test my skills and reflect on them before going out further into the professional world, and hopefully will lead to further employment or research projects. The course is brilliant and I'm having the best time!”
