This Meetup is for people who are interested in getting together to read Shakespeare's plays out loud. Each person will take one (or more!) parts and we will act them out.

At each meetup, we'll take one of his plays (chosen at the previous meetup and announced on the Meetup's website), assign parts and run with it.

Be funny, be dramatic, have fun!

Want to attend?

We will be starting with "Coriolanus," Act I, scene 1.

Anyone wishing to bring a DVD or video of their favorite movie version of this play may do so, and we'll show some of the main scenes.

Please bring your own copy!

We usually read half the play each meeting time, so as to leave room for discussion of what's really going on.

Once again Kevin has offered his apartment for the meeting place. Read more

What members are saying

 It is already outgrowing it's space, but the idea of breaking off into two groups was bandied about, and I think it would be great if that happened. ...

 If there's a better location another time, I will come again.
