This course will give you the chance to combine your passion for literature, theatre, and British culture, and combine them in an interdisciplinary exploration of the arts. Through this course, you will become acquainted with one of the world capitals of culture.  You’ll gain knowledge of not only major British cultural institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal Court but also fringe organisations and charities, as well as have the chance to meet individual writers, performers, practitioners and representatives of those institutions. You’ll explore the different and diverse relationships between the historical and the contemporary in both literature and theatre, developing critical thinking and analytical skills that you can use in your own arts career – whether that be as a creative writer, a critic, or working for an arts institution. 

Royal Holloway's Department of Drama, Theatre and Dance is internationally recognised for the quality of its creative arts programmes, and this course is the only UK postgraduate degree of its kind to offer a diverse overview of contemporary British culture with a focus on literature and theatre.
