Richard III at Denbigh High
- Synopsis
- Educational television. Pupils from Denbigh High School in Luton re-enact extracts from Richard III, analysing both the personalities and motivations of the characters. The pupils discuss why performing the play is preferable to studying it in the classroom and explain why they feel passionate about the play. They believe the play is appealing to pupils of their age because it contains both action and romance.
