These day-time play-readings are aimed at adults who are free during the day and may be feeling isolated. Come along if you like reading plays, or if you’d just like to listen. Well-behaved babies welcome. Sorry, no dogs or unaccompanied children.

The emphasis is on feel-good, uplifting and comedic material. A group leader facilitates the event and will encourage people to get the most out of it as possible. Participants will be invited to suggest plays, and we will provide the scripts. If you are interested or for any enquiries, please email us on playreadings@streathamtheatre.org.uk.

This time we are reading The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. This a popular farcical comedy, and is topical as it is about to be revived at the National Theatre.

The play reading group runs in addition to our regular monthly events, which cover a wide range of theatre-related topics, including workshops, improvisation, quizzes and an annual Streatham’s Got Talent event.
