Amateur dramatics without any of the stress: we assign the parts, get together and read/act the plays out loud. Costume, props and silly accents encouraged but entirely optional!
And we don't just do Shakespeare: other plays, Elizabethan or not, film scripts, TV shows are all fair game. It's an awful lot of fun and I encourage you to sign up... the words are dead if you leave them on the page!

One of our first non-Shakespearean plays in a long time: "Cash on Delivery" by Michael Cooney is a farce with "lies, lies and more lies, people getting knocked out, men without their trousers, mis-timings, mistaken identities, cross dressing and dead bodies."
Eric Swan has been running a tax fraud by claiming benefit for fictitious lodgers. Read more

“I have precious little experience with acting, but it's always been fun, and this sounds like a group that's all about the fun instead of perfection.”

What members are saying
“ a good way to be involved in drama and socialize ”
“ Others should join because the only requirement is that you want to read Shakespeare. It is a trouble-free couple of hours on a Sunday, sort of like chamber music, only free. ”
