Richard III: RSC Approaches
- Synopsis
- Educational television. A group of English teachers discover how to teach Richard III as a performance text in a workshop with the Royal Shakespeare Company Learning Department. The specially commissioned workshop encourages an emotional connection with the play, using the themes of mistrust and abuse of power. RSC practitioner Rachel Gartside takes the teachers through a collective role play, giving them an anchor into one of the key scenes. The teachers then take turns to read short segments to help them to deal with the nervousness of reading in public.
