Saturday Evening Play Reading
The next evening play reading will be on Saturday the 10th of August, at 5pm. We will be reading “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” by Tom Stoppard.
Absurdism invades Shakespeare’s Europe, with a cheeky point being made about why in the narrative of Hamlet, Hamlet’s supposedly good friends are treated as villains from the outset and sadly abused by just about everyone they encounter. The play sparkles with excellent humour and wit at the top level, with plenty of depth and philosophical problems raised along the way.
This is my all-time favourite read from the actor’s perspective, as R and G are almost indistinguishable from each other in personality. This is emphasised when they confuse themselves about who is who. The subtle differences do reveal themselves, and I’m always keen to discuss what was revealed in this play.
Please arrive in good time for the reading as it will start at 5pm.
There will be a charge of $5 to cover costs and Pizza and wine will be available at very reasonable prices. All are welcome.
