Two Medieval French Farces: A Reading

This will be a laid-back, fun, and free, event for anyone with an interest in comedy, medieval drama, theatre, or even none of the above!

Anyone who is interested in taking part should sign up and, nearer the date, we'll send scripts along for you to read, so you can get familiar with the plays. We won't be auditioning. We won't be pre-casting. We'll gather for a couple of hours before the performance to read together, to assign parts, and hopefully have a good laugh. We'll also be taking drop-ins on the day, for both participants and audience- if you can't get in touch with us ahead of time, we'll still be happy to hand you a script so you can take part! (Please note that, while we believe this event is suitable for most ages, anyone under 16 wishing to participate will need to be accompanied by an adult, and material may not be appropriate for young children.)

Then, when an audience has gathered at the set time, we'll perform the reading, with our scripts, for their entertainment as well as our own! Hopefully it'll be a good laugh for everyone, and a chance to get to know some very funny plays that aren't especially familiar to an English speaking audience. (In case you are worried, we will be reading English translations so you won't be expected to tackle Medieval French!)

Tickets- did we mention it’s FREE, by the way!- are available on this Eventbrite page. Please sign up to be either a participant or an audience member, and get in touch with us if you have any questions.

Participants should join us at the , at 17.00 on Saturday 9th May; we’ll be meeting upstairs.

Audience are invited to arrive for a 20.00 start at the same location.

Drinks will be available at the bar.
