Play Readings

video play readings by zoom

Our Summer Season of play readings about famous authors and playwrights continues on Thursday 14th May at 7:45pm via Zoom. In a change to the original program we will read Mary Shelley by Helen Edmundson, as it has a smaller cast than Bird Grove, which is now our June play.

If you would like to take part (either to read or just listen) please let me know by SUNDAY May 10th and I will send you joining instructions.
You will need to be a member of LGDC to take part, so if you’re not already a member, please ask about joining…

May 14th – Mary Shelley by Helen Edmundson

Helen Edmundson’s play explores a crucial episode in the early life of Mary Shelley – her meeting and scandalous elopement aged sixteen with Percy Bysshe Shelley, and its consequences for her sisters, her stepmother and above all, her troubled father, the political philosopher William Godwin.

why play readings?

Our informal play readings usually take place monthly.  They give as an opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of plays throughout the year, some that we might consider performing or couldn’t perform for various practical reasons, and for us to become characters that we couldn’t possibly be on stage. All without having to learn any lines!

Join us and enjoy a glass of wine or cup of coffee, read a part or two, or just listen; you’ll be very welcome, but you will need to let us know you’re coming so we can plan the distribution of parts and you’ll need to pay the modest subscription to join LGDC.  For more information please contact me, Nan Newberry, on 01442 843155 or at playreadings@lgdramaclub.com.
