We are really pleased to be starting up our monthly online play reading group again from January 2024 on the second Tuesday of the month, so stick these dates in your diary. There is no need to attend each session, have lots of acting experience or buy the play in advance. You will need a laptop or tablet to read the play on the screen. The group simply read the play and have a brief discussion afterwards. Previously the online play reading group has influenced the Criterion season with shows like The Gift and The Welkin.
The readings are free to attend (although of course we pay for the rights).
So, as the nights draw in, why not come and escape from it all? You can read a part, stage directions or just sit back and listen - it’s totally up to you.
If you would like to read please email lucyhayton@hotmail.com and include your name, approximate age and ethnicity so we can allocate parts as appropriately as possible (although be prepared to read anything!).
Hope to see you then. And please do spread the word, all are welcome.
January Play Reading
The first play reading will be of Rachel Cusk's modern version of Medea on 9th January 2024 at 8pm.
Medea's marriage is breaking up. And so is everything else. Testing the limits of revenge and liberty, Euripides' seminal play cuts to the heart of gender politics and asks what it means to be a woman and a wife.

For any questions about the readings please email Lucy on lucyhayton@hotmail.com.
