Script-in-hand readings with the Playhouse Lab
Explore the fascinating drama of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries through unrehearsed script-in-hand performances.
The School of English’s Playhouse Lab has confirmed its script-in-hand performances for semester 2, 2020.
The Playhouse Lab assemble in the evening to distribute roles and scripts of sixteenth and seventeenth-century plays, and attempt to perform the text with no prior rehearsal.
