Literature & Drama tours

What better way to gain a new perspective on the thinking of an age than through its works of literature. To see with one’s own eyes the places that inspired an author or a text, can add to one’s appreciation immeasurably.

How better to become more closely acquainted with a literary work than to discuss it in the company of other aficionados, under the direction of an expert — or of the author themselves?
