Get a taste of olde England as we take an overnight trip to Shakespeare’s hometown. After arriving in Stratford-upon-Avon, we’ll attend The Merchant of Venice: 1936 , the new hit production that sets Shakespeare’s classic in London’s East End during World War II. Afterwards, we’ll enjoy a meet-and-greet with the show’s lead, Tracy-Ann Oberman, who plays Shylock as a single mother. We’ll then stay at the boutique Hotel Indigo, situated in a 16th-century building just a stone’s throw from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
On day two we’ll travel to Upton House, an illustrious Jewish country pile built from local honey-hued ironstone. Once there, we’ll go on an exclusive guided tour led by Robert Waley-Cohen, whose family owned the property before it was donated to the National Trust. This event is run in partnership with Jewish Renaissance.
