rampant readings

a series of rehearsed readings of classic quirky plays

A NEW VENTURE, A CALL FOR ACTORS

As part of a new venture in Wigan we are planning to arrange a regular Rampant Reading.

The first of these will be THE DAY ROOM by Don DeLillo.

It will be held at King Street Space on Saturday 14 November, with the usual format of an informal rehearsal during the day with a script-in-hand performance in the evening, with a small audience.

We are currently looking for actors who would like to take part. Please email expressions of interest to [email protected]

There is no casting breakdown; this is a chance to engage with a text in a different way and play with roles that you wouldn't usually get an opportunity to engage with.  It is unpaid.

You can see more about the space at www.kingstreetspace.webs.com
