Students' artwork flies the flag for Royal Shakespeare Company

The King Lear flags in place at Holgate Green on St Mary's

The flags are the culmination of a creative education project inspired by the Royal Shakespeare Company's (RSC) first-ever visit to the Isles of Scilly.

As part of the company's outreach work surrounding its new 80-minute production, First Encounters: King Lear, Five Islands Academy students engaged in a series of workshops exploring themes from the play - ranging from sibling rivalry to devolution - guided by RSC director Justine Themen, who visited the islands ahead of the performances.
