In this illustrated course we will explore some of the medieval ideas about the edges of space and place. Through a variety of media, including 12th century architecture, manuscripts and ancient maps, we will search for the origins of these ideas which are played out on the medieval stage. The course will include a number of examples from Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.
10am- 4pm. Adult day schools cost: £28 per person or £25.50 to season ticket holders (lunch not included). Booking is essential.
