Play Reading Group- Blithe Spirits
Co-ordinator: Kris Clark: kristine.clark@btopenworld.com
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.
