About this Event

Scripted Social - Play Exploration Group (June's Read)


We invite you along to 53Two Studio in Manchester for our June play exploration group session ran by Natalie Beech who is a creative facilitator and director! Join us on 27th June, 2026 at 10:00 AM to dive into our selected script which for this month is Blue Heart by Caryl Churchill! Let's gather together, share our thoughts, and enjoy the magic of theatre in a safe, communal setting. No acting experience required, just bring your enthusiasm and love for the stage!

Our morning is spent reading the plays and in the afternoon, we play around with some of the scenes in a relaxed, loose rehearsal setting!

See you there!


Blue Heart by Caryl Churchill

Our theme this month is theatricality, illusion and absurd humour. Our community has voted for this brilliant play and we can't wait for you to explore it!

Blue Heart consists of two related short plays, both teasingly entertaining and brilliantly executed, one about a father and daughter, the other about a mother and son. In Heart's Desire, a father, mother and aunt are waiting for a woman to arrive home after years in Australia. In Blue Kettle a middle-aged man and his girlfriend are involved in a con trick, making elderly women believe they are the man's long-lost mother. But neiher play is what it seems. Something catastrophic is happening which disrupts and destorys them.
