The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) is to stream its eagerly awaited production of Richard II direct to schools in the UK this autumn.
Tickets for the RSC production, which stars former Doctor Who actor David Tennant as the flawed king, have already sold out.
But the play will be streamed direct to 1,000 UK schools on November 15 – reaching an estimated 60,000 youngsters in the process.
The five-act play will be accompanied by a studio link-up hosted by television presenter Konnie Huq.
Members of the creative team, including Gregory Doran, the RSC’s artistic director, and David Tennant himself, will be on hand to take part in a live online Q&A with students.
