Play reading group

Monday 9 December 2024

Unleash your inner thespian! Would you like to read a part in a play? Would you like to listen to a play being read aloud? All ages and backgrounds are welcome at our play reading group. Play titles are shared in advance. It's more fun than a Book Group with no homework to feel guilty about forgetting. This month's play is It’s a Wonderful Life (film script) by Frank Capra (among others).

Get into the mood for Christmas and be prepared to weep buckets as we follow Angel Clarence guiding Jimmy Stewart’s George Bailey to a festive redemption. Mince pies and Hankies will be provided.

A Message from the organiser Chris Gill

We have established a tradition of reading a play once a month at the Marine Theatre, which is kindly providing the venue free to support community drama. We have a small group of regular attenders and we are always pleased to welcome new people, whether they want to read or just listen. The selection for October to December has some classics that will surely appeal to the inner thespian of our regular attendees. If you want to go on our circulation list or have any questions about the meetings, please contact Chris Gill through the Marine Theatre.

Please note all the coming readings take place on the second Monday evening of each month. Please remember to bring with you a paper or screen copy of the script if you wish to read.

We are not able to provide copies.
