RICHARD III
By William ShakespearE
Directed by Cynthia Florez & Ann CiccolellA
June 21-30, 2024
Mark your calendar for the amazing Tragedy of Richard III: containing, his treacherous plots against his brother Clarence; the pitiful murder of his innocent nephews; his tyrannical usurpation; with the whole course of his detested life, and most deserved death.
A month-long rehearsal period culminates in a student-performed, professionally-staged production at The Curtain Theater, Austin's own Elizabethan replica theater space. The program is now in its 16th consecutive year.
Costumes, sets and lighting are professionally designed. The show is directed by Austin Shakespeare professional directors and students receive training in Shakespeare performance.
“Each summer we are amazed by the young talent that develops in this professional setting. Teens transform together through six weeks of training in Shakespeare text analysis, voice and diction, movement.”
− Nancy Owens, Co-Director Young Shakespeare
