Pupil Resources
King Lear (First Encounter: RSC)
A cleverly abridged, filmed performance of King Lear, directed by acclaimed theatre director Tim Crouch, for pupils at upper KS2 / KS3. Could be really useful to help your class become familiar with the story... This production uses Shakespeare's text, so you might need to check the understanding of younger classes!
