I review aspects of string theory on plane wave backgrounds emphasising the
connection to gauge theory given by the BMN correspondence. Topics covered
include the Penrose limit and its role in deriving the BMN duality from
AdS/CFT, light-cone string field theory in the maximally supersymmetric plane
wave and extensions of the correspondence to less supersymmetric backgrounds.
