this show through a series of short films available online during the run-up to
the screening, beginning on Friday 30 August. There will also be live footage
on the night, before the show's screening and during the interval. This will be
hosted by broadcast journalist Suzy Klein.

The production is designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis with
lighting by Tim Mitchell and sound by Martin Slavin. The movement director is
Mike Ashcroft and the Fight director is Terry King. The production's music is
composed by Paul Englishby.
The Company is also offering a unique opportunity to schools
across the UK
to experience Richard II in the classroom at 9.30am on 15 November
2013. This will build on the success of its first direct-to-the-classroom
interactive stream last year with Tim Crouch's one man show I, Cinna.
The full production of Richard II will be streamed
direct into up to 1000 schools, reaching an estimated 60,000 students through a
collaboration with Ravensbourne
College and the JANET
Network. It will be accompanied by a live studio link-up hosted by Konnie Huq,
who will introduce the webcast. Members of the creative team, including Gregory
Doran and David Tennant, will also be on hand to take part in a live online
Q&A with participating students.
Alongside the webcast, the RSC will create an extensive
package of online resources for use by teachers and students in the classroom,
both in the lead up to the broadcast and for use as follow up materials
afterwards.
