The performances at the Armory will be filmed by the RSC's in-house team, and a specially commissioned DVD version, which will include supplemental education resources for both teachers and students, will be given by New York City's Department of Education to every school in New York City in Spring 2013.
The new collaboration is a direct result of the RSC's six week residency last summer at Park Avenue Armory, which included YPS productions of Hamlet and The Comedy of Errors supported by pre- and post-show educational workshops provided by RSC ensemble actors and Park Avenue Armory teaching artists.
