Script-in-hand readings with the Playhouse Lab

Explore the fascinating drama of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries through unrehearsed readings.
The School of English’s Playhouse Lab returns this year with a new programme of online, script-in-hand performances.
Dr José A. Pérez Díez: “The process is simple: we distribute roles and scripts among volunteers via email before assembling on Zoom in the evening.”

“We then attempt to perform a play with no prior rehearsal. We take an interval and reconvene shortly after. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly – everyone is welcome to attend, whether just to watch or to read a role – no experience is required.”
