WESTON
PLAYHOUSE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS THE
8th ANNUAL LONDON THEATRE TOUR
January 6-15, 2009
Dear
Theatre Enthusiast,
I want to invite you to join me and Tour Director
Giles Ramsay
for the Weston Playhouse’s 8th annual London
Theatre Tour, a unique and unforgettable
visit to the world’s greatest theatre capital.
This year’s tour, scheduled from January
6 to 15, 2009, is an ideal time to enjoy
the many shows that have opened over the holidays
without the holiday crowds and prices.
Your home-away-from-home will be the four-star
Radisson Edwardian
Grafton Hotel, just minutes from Regents
Park, the British Museum, Oxford Street and London’s
West End. You’ll enjoy six
performances, likely including Sir Derek
Jacobi in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Matthew
Bourne’s dance adaptation of Edward Scissorhands
at Sadler’s Wells, a visit to the flagship
National Theatre, and cutting edge work and new
plays at the London Fringe. An art expert will
prepare us for a visit to a major
exhibition, possibly the National Gallery’s
Renaissance Faces: Van Eyck to Titian, and we
will recommend an optional classical
concert.

The unquestioned highlight of each trip is the stimulating
discussion with tour leaders and fellow travelers.
As always, the group will meet with top
theatre artists, critics, and political journalists,
providing a rare “behind the scenes” look
at theatre and the issues of the day. We will also enjoy
a Master Class in acting
at the Royal Academy for Dramatic Art, and private
dinners at two London favorites, perhaps the ever-popular
Guinea Grill off famed Berkeley Square and the lavish
18th century Home House.

The tour allows ample free
time every day for shopping, sightseeing and
relaxing. You’ll receive complete welcome
packets with maps and guidebooks, and recommendations
of additional plays, concerts and exhibitions. Private
coach transportation
is provided to all venues.
A deposit of $1000
per person will hold
your space. The price of $4250
per person (double
occupancy) includes hotel, ground transportation, all
performance tickets and many meals. A tax-deductible
contribution of $300 per person is added to the total
cost of the trip. We will recommend flights from Boston
and New York and a travel agent for ease of booking;
air travel is the responsibility of the participants.
The group is limited to 35 participants, with reservations
taken in the order received.
Interest in this year’s trip is already strong,
so fill out the reservation
