SUMMARY:'Richard III' - play and lecture @Seymour Centre\, Tuesday 25th March 2025 - 11.30am
DESCRIPTION:Sport for Jove and Seymour Centre present \nRICHARD III\nPlay by William Shakespeare & Lecture Suitable for students in years 9 – 12Contains haze smoke and adult themes. \nSport for Jove’s Richard III play in Sydney returns after a hugely successful season in 2023. Seen through the eyes of Elizabeth I this production gives students an incredible insight into the play and when it was written. \nThis production is an essential tool for students to come to grips with this play’s innate theatricality and plethora of challenging characters when comparing it to Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard. Don’t let your students miss this opportunity to see and hear the play live. \nPeace at last in the land of the free! \nBut while a gruesome war has ended and the world dances\, one dangerous mind is still in the trenches\, his language weaponised and targeted on every point of weakness around him. He will take no prisoners on his rampage to the top. \n“Shoutout to Damien and the team for offering such a stellar production of Richard III. Our students have really profited from such a formative experience and the power of live theatre.” “I can’t tell you how thrilled the students and I were with the performance. I have told everyone who is keen to listen how great the day was!” \nGreg Thomas\, Head Teacher Secondary Studies at The Ponds High School \nNicholas Whittard\, English Teacher at Strathfield Girls High School \nShow Duration: Approximately 150 minutes (including a 30-minute lecture by the Director\, Damien Ryan and Q&A as well as a 15-minute interval). \nYOU MUST BE A SHEN MEMBER TO BOOK TICKETS.  PLEASE ONLY BOOK FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY. \nTicket sales will end on the 19th of January 2025\, unless sold out beforehand. \nPlease ensure you choose the correct ticket option when you are paying.  People choosing Companion Card ticket must email a copy of the Companion Card to SHEN immediately after booking ticket(s).
