Austin Shakespeare: Young Shakespeare Richard III
The Curtain Theatre in Austin will host the compelling 'Tragedy of Richard III' directed by Cynthia Florez and Ann Ciccolella from June 20-30, 2024. This rendition of Shakespeare's work promises to intertwine treachery, ambition, and the complexities of human nature with elements of irony and humor. With a cast of 11 teenagers, the production explores the tumultuous end of The War of the Roses, aiming to present a narrative that is as educational as it is entertaining.
In preparation for their performances, the young actors will undergo a month of intensive training covering acting techniques, stage movement, diction, and stage combat. This initiative marks the 16th year of the program, celebrated for providing a professional and enriching theatrical experience at Austin's Elizabethan replica theatre. The team behind this endeavor hopes to engage audiences with Shakespeare's timeless relevance through a presentation that blends horror with humor.
