Reading circle

The last exercise builds on the now familiar words of Richard's opening speech "Now is the winter of our discontent...". Students sit on the floor with their teacher who holds up a number of words which she has written on large sheets of blank paper. the words incude "murderous" "cold" "bullying" and the students are encouraged to say their lines as prompted by these single words.

Produced by the National Theatre working with BT.
