English Literature and Theatre Studies BA

This distinctive, flexible and varied degree combines workshop-based practical theatre work with the textual study of English literature, allowing you to explore your performance from both creative and critical perspectives.

You’ll study literature from Old English to the contemporary period, including American and postcolonial literature. You'll have the opportunity to integrate your textual and theatrical interests through topics such as stage adaptation and surrealism. Workshops are designed to develop your skills as an artist-researcher, led by our own theatre specialists and guest tutors ranging from emerging theatre companies to internationally acclaimed playwrights.
