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 continuing with "King Richard III," Act IV, scene 1; it's a long play! We are also watching selections from Olivier's film version and engaging in an active discussion about the play.

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! Read more

What members are saying

 Nice people.
