Welcome to Drama at Queen Mary, University of London

The Department of Drama at Queen Mary, University of London is an exciting, dynamic, creative and supportive place for practitioners and scholars in drama, theatre and performance studies to explore and thrive.

QMUL Drama staff and students alike come together to collaborate and develop skills and knowledge through the practice of theatre and performance, and through the critical study of the history and culture of performance.

Our teaching and research embrace contemporary and emerging art forms as well as the roots and rich history of the performing arts and theatre, with particular focus on the early modern period and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Based in East London, we have strong links with local and international organisations, from the London International Festival of Theatre and the Barbican, to local galleries and community arts projects. Everyone studying Drama at Queen Mary benefits from and contributes to the rich theatrical and cultural energy and diversity of the city and its many communities.
