Spring 2003 Theater Schedule:We'll be seeing ten plays this semester. Some are classics, some are new; some are playing at major West End theaters, some at small, out-of-the-way venues. All were chosen by Michael Billington, the Guardian theater critic who will be teaching your theater course. Check out his latest reviews. You can read more about London theater here. A word to the wise: London theaters have very strict policies about latecomers. If you arrive after curtain time, you will not be allowed into the theater until intermission. Plan on getting to the theater a bit early--you never know when you'll be held up in the Tube. Tuesday, January 21: John Marston's The Malcontent (1603) at the Gielgud Theatre
Tuesday, January 28: John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi (1619) at the National Theatre (Lyttelton)
