Schools Programme Schools Programme WELCOME A recent study found that children who regularly attended theatre with their school had higher aspirations and better hopes about their future lives. This news sent my heart soaring as this is what this job is all about! The productions presented this year are surprising and eclectic, taking the spectator along visually interesting pathways. The works include a wide variety of theatrical genres from spoken text to puppetry, from dance theatre and musical explorations to acrobatics. Many of the productions are non-text based making them accessible to a broader audience. Central to the Festival are four exciting shows by Scotland based companies as well as a regional focus on Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern part of Belgium, one of the world’s leaders in producing innovative theatre and dance for young audiences. We have also extended the dates of the Festival to accommodate the increased demand from schools with three international productions opening in the week prior to the main Festival week. In line with our mission, this will allow more children access to high quality theatre. I hope that the 2020 Edinburgh International Children’s Festival is full of special moments for you and your students. Exquisitely theatrical experiences that encourage children and young people to wish, desire and aspire beyond their own lives and immediate neighbourhoods, into their potential future selves. Focus on Flanders supported by: Noel Jordan Festival Director Beyond the Festival: • Creative learning project Imaginate offers a year-round programme Artist-led workshops inspired by of projects for schools including: and linked to some of the Festival’s productions • Theatre in Schools Scotland (TiSS) High quality theatre and dance shows • Artists in Residence touring into schools across Scotland Partnerships with schools to enable artists, pupils and teachers to work • Teachers’ Theatre Club together for a term or longer Professional development project for teachers to increase confidence and For more information, go to our website skills with live performance or contact [email protected] (TiSS) or [email protected] (other schools projects). 2 To book: www.imaginate.org.uk | [email protected] | 0131 225 8050 PROGRAMME AT A GLANCE LITTLE TOP SPARROW BOKS SCOTLAND NORWAY BELGIUM 4 5 6 Nursery (0–18 mths) Nursery (0–2 yrs) Nursery – P1 (2+ yrs) HERMIT LIGHT!

Honest Iago fuels his venom with malignance and hateful contempt. Poignant, intense, heartbreaking ; Othello mercilessly explores every inch of the human condition. Following on from the success of Shakespeare’s R&J and Kill Bill Macbeth, South Hill Park Arts Centre presents a major new production of Shakespeare’s great domestic tragedy co-produced with Icarus Theatre Collective and Original Theatre Company. Othello’s world will be brought vividly to life as a live string quartet and a stunning ensemble cast combine with some of literature’s most vibrant language and characters. A dangerous tale of ambition, jealousy and love will unfurl as Shakespeare’s classic tale of deception hurtles to its dramatic and poignant conclusion. Producer Alastair Whatley explains that, “After exploring Romeo and Juliet with school boys and Macbeth with Tarantino we have this year married Shakespeare with live music to the most astonishing effect. It took months of casting to find the actors who could also play the string instruments to such high standards.” The play stars Vinta Morgan as Othello, a regular actor for The Royal Shakespeare Company he has most recently finished playing in Romeo and Juliet in Stratford Upon Avon, and the renowned Maltese actor Christopher Dingli as Iago.

    Contact: Becky Biegelsen PRESS RELEASE (858) 228-3094 | [email protected] LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES HUNDRED DAYS, THE BENGSONS’ “LUMINOUS MUSICAL MEMOIR,” AS FINAL PRODUCTION OF 2018/2019 SEASON RUN DATES SET FOR FULL SEASON SLATE La Jolla, CA – La Jolla Playhouse announces Hundred Days, book by The Bengsons and Sarah Gancher, music and lyrics by The Bengsons, directed by Anne Kauffman, and movement direction by Sonya Tayeh, as the final production of its 2018/2019 season, to run September 22 – October 21 in the Mandell Weiss Forum. Dubbed “a luminous musical memoir” and a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, Hundred Days is an exhilarating and heartrending autobiographical piece, written and performed by husband-and-wife team Abigail and Shaun Bengson, about embracing uncertainty, taking a leap, and loving as if you only had a hundred days to live. With their magnetic chemistry and unique musical style, the Bengsons explore the fundamental question of how to make the most of the time you have. “This deeply honest and life-affirming show is a terrific addition to the 2018/2109 season,” said Playhouse Artistic Director and 2017 Tony Award winner Christopher Ashley. “I’m always looking for vibrant and distinct new voices – as well as unique ways of storytelling – and the Bengsons speak to both these aims, culminating in a singular piece of theatre that defies genres. I can’t wait to share with our audiences.” Hundred Days joins the previously-announced 2018/2019 season productions of The Squirrels (June 5 – July 1), queens (July 3 – 29), Seize the King (August 21 – September 16), The Year to Come (December 4 – 30) and Diana (February 19 – March 31, 2019).

  • A Doll's House
    The National Theatre of Scotland and Royal Lyceum Theatre present SCOTTISH PREMIERE A Doll’s House By Henrik Ibsen, in a version by Zinnie Harris Directed by Graham McLaren Set Design by Robert Innes Hopkins, Lighting Design by Tim Mitchell, Sound Design by Nick Sagar Cast includes: Robert Cavanah, Brian McCardie, Lucianne McEvoy, Kevin McMonagle, Amy Manson, Sharon Young At the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh from 16 April to 4 May 2013 Press Performance: Wednesday 17 April at 7.45pm Following the success of the critically acclaimed production The Guid Sisters in 2012, the National Theatre of Scotland is delighted to be working in partnership again with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh to bring this new version of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to the Scottish stage for the first time. A stellar cast of Scottish performers has been assembled, with the lead role of Nora being played by Amy Manson. This will mark Amy’s return to the Lyceum, where she won Best Performance (Female) in 2008 for her role in Six Characters in Search of an Author at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland. Since then she has gone on to enjoy success in British film and television. A Doll’s House caused outrage both in its style and content when first staged in 1879. Zinnie Harris has transposed her version from late 19th-century Norway to Edwardian London and shifted the tale of intrigue, fraud and betrayal from the world of finance to that of politics. Her version has strong contemporary resonances, revealing a world where duty, power and hypocrisy rule, and brings modern sensibilities to bear on Nora’s marriage, at the heart of the play.
