Table Read

All over the country, wherever there’s a concentration of dramatists, there’s a ‘scratch night’. Theatre fans gather to sit and watch a selection of short plays performed script in hand. They’re rough, ready, and a great night out. They’re also, almost exclusively, theatre.
Enter ‘Table Read’. It’s everything you love about a scratch night, but with a film and TV twist. Rather than gathering to witness the next Shakespeare, Table Read will showcase the next Aaron Sorkin. There’s literally no limit to the stories that can be told here. Echoing the
'Readthrough’ that happens at the start of all productions, Table Read is free to go anywhere.
There’s no budget too big, no story too intimate. This is an opportunity for audiences, writers, and actors, to experience something entirely new within the comfort of something old. For our first ‘pilot’ night, the five chosen scripts respond to the theme… pilot. And they’re a real treat!
