Items related to Richard III: A Play
Richard III is Shakespeare's first great theatrical creation: Richard is charming, witty, ironic, terrifying -- but he is also the embodiment, in his own personality, of the violence and chaos of the Wars of the Roses. This is the latest in the Propeller Series, a fresh and energized intervention in the Shakespeare market, with both a general and scholarly appeal.

Review:
...accessible and enjoyable for children of all abilities (PTA)
This series of resources for lower ability pupils preparing for Key Stage 3 is an original and engaging approach to the plays of Shakespeare. The pupil books all provide a secure summary of the play, through the use of clearly drawn cartoons and some key scenes and speeches which are printed in full... the authors have avoided being both condescending and boring by using the original text throughout and asking probing, open-ended questions which help to direct pupil responses. (Ink Pellet)
"does a great job of visually representing the play through illustrations and simple, clear text... The visual support is particularly useful for pupils with language difficulties, reading difficulties and Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Seeing a plot mapped out visually is a useful prompt for pupils and helps them engage with the text and understand the main issues." (Teachit Newsletter)

Propeller is an all-male Shakespeare company which mixes a rigorous approach to the text with a modern physical aesthetic. They look for as many ways as possible to inform the physical life of the production with the poetry of the text, giving as much control as possible to the actor in telling the story. Over the last fifteen years, Propeller has performed Shakespeare in over twenty two countries. In 2011 Propeller reached nearly one hundred thousand people worldwide.
