Hi,

I am going to start up a play reading group in Melbourne for actors. Your amount of experience isn't really an issue, you can be just starting out (like I am!), or an old pro!

The idea is to read a play, then once a month come together to read the play together, and then discuss what the pertinent issues of the play are. We may discuss what we perceive the author meant when s/he wrote that direction there, as well. Anything about that particular play is up for discussion.

The idea behind this is to get an understanding for some of the famous/most popular plays, and when they are discussed we usually retain the knowledge a lot longer.

Not sure how many people will be interested, but I'm wanting to keep it to a small group. The first play I have chosen ("Waiting for Godot"),to get us started, but after that the group will decide.

If interested, email me at michelle_j_peak@yahoo.com.au
The first meeting will be the last Friday in March, so there is plenty of time.

Cheers,

Michelle
