For connoisseurs of culture, here’s a London theater-and-art tour
Shaftesbury Avenue is home of some of the major theaters in London’s West End.
Explore London’s springtime cultural scene with arts writer Barbara Isenberg, who is hosting her 30th annual theater-and-art tour. The eight-day tour includes behind-the-scenes visits to theaters and museums, celebrity interviews and meetings with actors, critics and others.
Tour participants will enjoy six top theatrical productions, guided visits to museums and a day in the country. Likely theater includes Duncan Macmillan’s new hit play, “People, Places & Things,” Harold Pinter’s classic “The Caretaker” starring Timothy Spall [“Mr. Turner”] and the West End transfer of the Menier Chocolate Factory’s sold-out revival of “Funny Girl.”
Other highlights include a tour of period costume maker Sands Films in East London, a West Berkshire excursion to Watermill Theatre, a garden tour and dinner at a 17th century estate, full English tea and an insider’s look at Britain today with a prominent political writer.
Dates: May 1-8
Price: $6,240 per person, double occupancy. Includes four-star luxury hotel in St. James, full English breakfast daily, many meals, group transfers and all excursions. International airfare not included.
