Richard III – Lecture and Play

Sport for Jove’s Richard III play in Sydney returns after a hugely successful season in 2024. Seen through the eyes of Elizabeth I this production gives students an incredible insight into the play and when it was written.

This 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.

Peace at last in the land of the free!

But 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.

The production includes a detailed 20-minute lecture on the play by director Damien Ryan and Q&A with the students to deepen their relationship to the work.

"We travel around seven hours each way and it's always worth it. Spell-binding performances produce detailed, relevant study notes and a real appreciation for 'The Bard'. Damien Ryan and his company have become a key component of our course." – Cindy Moor, Head Teacher (Rel) English at Glen Innes High School
