THE KING LEAR SESSION ONLINE:

Not just Business as Usual

Over the past year, Cyclone has had to adapt its approach to meet the needs of teachers at these difficult times and to provide students as always with insightful and exciting Shakespeare offerings. This saw us adapting our King Lear Session to an online format. Learning from this experience and we are proud to announce that this year we have produced a new show: The King Lear Session Online: Not Just Business as Usual.

The show is an entertaining and informative modern take on the tale of King Lear and his daughters. Tune into the CBN newsroom as they follow along with the adventures of the characters. In tandem with key scenes, Director Peadar Donohoe and Actor Marcus Bale discuss the major themes of the play to aid students in their studies.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The King Lear Session Online: Not Just Business as Usual comprises three webinars. Together with access to the three sessions, teachers will receive a thorough Resource Handout to use with their students. This will review major points presented on all the Webinars and provide supplementary exercises that teachers can use with their students if they wish.

HOW CAN THIS SHOW BE EXPERIENCED?

The King Lear Session Online can be experienced via a secure page on our website. This Session can be accessed any time you need at your own convenience.

RECORDING ACCESS DETAILS

All recorded performances will be uploaded to a private page on our Website. Teachers will be sent a link and a password to access the recorded performance of their choice. Please note that passwords are valid for one week (Monday to Friday). If for whatever reason you need access to any of the Webinars later again in the year, please let us know and we will accommodate you.

RECOMMENDED SETUP FOR THE SESSION

The recommended set up for The Romeo & Juliet Session Online is that of a classroom or hall with a computer and projector so that the whole student group can experience the webinar together. If this is not possible, students will be able to experience the session from individual devices or participate from home.
