This master’s in Shakespeare Studies is taught jointly between King’s and Shakespeare’s Globe. You’ll get unique access to the education and research team at Shakespeare’s Globe, where you’ll learn about early modern playhouses, audiences and performance practices. You’ll join the Globe’s radical theatrical experiment, which is inspired and informed by the unique historic playing conditions of its two beautiful theatres, the Globe and the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse At King’s, you’ll learn about early modern drama and other literary genres, consider the cultural and historical context in which Shakespeare and his contemporaries were writing, and examine the long afterlife of his works.
Our recent graduates have gone on to study PhDs at King’s and at the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Columbia, CUNY, California, George Washington and Massachusetts, and subsequently to jobs at Cambridge, Kent, The Shakespeare Institute, Newcastle, and North Carolina.
Others are using the skills they developed with us to excel in careers in arts administration at, for example, Globe Education, National Theatre, Barbican and English National Opera and to edit for publishers in the US and UK.
