London Playreading Club

Like a book club, but for plays.


… Spend an evening with like-minded theatre lovers and get into the nitty-gritty of what makes a play great.

How it works:
Each session is hosted by actor and playwright Alfrun Rose. You’ll receive the choice of play about a month in advance.

At the meeting, we might read a few scenes aloud and chat about everything from big themes and plot twists to fatal flaws and dialogue choices.

17 June: Zinnie Harris, How to Hold Your Breath

1 July: Bertolt Brecht, Mother Courage and Her Children (on at the Globe until end of June)

15 July: Sarah Kane, Cleansed (on at The Almeida until end of August)

29 July: Federico García Lorca, The House of Bernarda Alba (NT online)

Please buy or source the playtexts from libraries, contact me if you have a problem sourcing them.
