Retracing The Bard's Unknown Travels

Using Richard Paul Roe's revelatory book, "The Shakespeare Guide to Italy: Retracing the Bard's Unknown Travels," and the text from Shakespeare's ten "Italian Plays" as a compass, we determined the locations of the scenes in Shakespeare's works. On this unique Shakespeare Festival St. Louis trip, we'll head off to Italy to visit some of these locations on a compelling and provocative journey that will forever change our understanding of how to read the Bard. The trip is planned for October 2012; exact dates are still being determined.  Venice, Verona, Padua and some gastronomic sights (and delights) in the Emilia-Romagna area are among the places to be visited.  The trip will include hotels, transportation while in Italy, private guides, many meals and special Shakespeare events and lectures.  If you're interested in receiving trip information when it's been finalized (February) please contact Anne MacIntyre at On The Map Travel - anne@onthemaptravel.com  - or call the Shakespeare Festival St. Louis office at (314) 531-9800 to put your name on the list.
