UPDATE - US & WORLDWIDE: Still seeking people who want Richard II screenings in their areas!
As I recently posted, I’m working with the head of worldwide distribution to help find appropriate screening venues for the Royal Shakespeare Company production of Richard II, starring David Tennant.
I have been in touch with my contact, who will be following up on the US lists I’ve sent him so far. (More on that below.)
I have also had requests from people in several other countries inquiring about screenings there. My contact said you can expect an announcement for Australia and Canada screenings soon, so keep an eye on the Royal Shakespeare Company site for those listings. If your country is not on the current RSC screening list, or in Australia or Canada, please contact me if you’re interested in helping get a screening in your area. Screenings in other countries must be in areas where people are fluent in English, since there will be no subtitles.So far, requests have been submitted for the following:
Washington, DC
Florida (Orlando/Winter Garden, Naples, Miami)
Illinois (Chicago/Northern IL)
Iowa (Iowa City)
Utah (near Park City & Salt Lake City)
Washington (Spokane)
Wisconsin (Milwaukee)If you’re interested in seeing Richard II, and there is no screening currently listed in your area on the RSC’s page (http://onscreen.rsc.org.uk/cinemas-and-tickets/default.aspx) or on my list above, please contact me. All you need to do is help identify possible theaters in your area, and my contact will see what he can do to arrange a screening with them. Any info you share with me and/or I pass along to him (with your permission only) is strictly for the purpose of setting up screenings, and will not be shared with anyone else or used for any other purpose.
Please, please reblog this message so people can get screenings in their areas! We’re in a unique position of being able to help the Royal Shakespeare Company and David Tennant extend their reach for this project. Please spread the word!
