South Solihull u3a Play Reading Group - Blithe Spirits

Picture
Coordinator: Kris Clark
Where:  Members' houses
When: Approximately monthly, usually on Monday afternoons​.  See Diary for next meeting
INTRODUCTION
Unleash your inner thespian and join our friendly group, to read aloud everything from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night & Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard  to Joe Orton’s Loot and Peter Schaffer’s Amadeus.

We are a small group, who meet once a month, in each other’s homes, on a Monday afternoon.  A different member of the group gets to choose the script and 'direct' for each session, providing a background to the play and assigning the roles.  We break for tea and a discussion of the play, which continues at the close of the reading, if time allows.  The emphasis is on exploring a range of plays and developing our individual ‘voices’.

We have organised a number of theatre visits, in association with the plays we read – recently, for example: Playboy Of The Western World at the Loft Theatre in Leamington.  The group occasionally provides entertainment at the monthly ssu3a meeting – for instance, a snippet of a Noel Coward play for a 1930’s themed meeting and a mini pantomime at Christmas.
