Join us at the V&A South Kensington for this 8 week exploration of British theatre. Immerse yourself in London’s vibrant theatre scene with an introduction to a wealth of critically acclaimed and ‘must-see’ productions featuring a special guest each week in conversation with theatre critic Matt Wolf. Previous editions of this British Theatre course, now in its 12th year, have included a host of guests who went on to be nominated for, and even win, Olivier or Evening Standard Theatre Awards.

Previous guests have included Vicki Mortimer for her costume designs for 'Follies'; Bertie Carvel for playing Rupert Murdoch in the James Graham play 'Ink'; Jamael Westman for playing Alexander Hamilton in ‘Hamilton’; Will Keen for portraying Vladimir Putin in the play ‘Patriots’, and most recently Marisha Wallace for her performance as Adelaide in ‘Guys and Dolls’.

Last year marked Matt Wolf’s 40 years as an American theatre critic based in London. He has held long tenures with The Associated Press, Variety, and the International New York Times, is theatre editor and a founding member of The Arts Desk website and is thrilled to be involved in the inception of the monthly magazine Musicals.

I attend this course every year. Matt has a wealth of knowledge and connections! His guests are always fantastic! Previous British Theatre Student
