ABOUT CARDIFF SHAKESPEARE READERS
Created and
facilitated by Adam Timms and Hannah O'Leary,
Cardiff Shakespeare Readers is a group for
people to get together and experience ALL the great playwright's
works as they were intended - spoken aloud! We meet once a
month, on a Sunday evening, and read aloud one of Shakespeare’s
plays. Working through the plays in rough chronological order,
the aim is to read the complete works of Shakespeare. Anyone is
welcome to attend and read aloud, no matter what theatrical or
literary experience they have. All that is required is an
enthusiasm for the bard (and £3 to contribute towards the cost
of running the group...)
We aim to encourage and involve the following:
NETWORKING FOR ACTORS/ DIRECTORS/
WRITERS: We count amongst our regular readers
professionals from all aspects of the theatre industry including
actors, directors and writers.
AMATEUR ACTORS/ STUDENT ACTORS:
All are welcome - there is no audition, no judgement, and no
heirarchy in who gets to read the "big" parts.
THEATRE-GOERS and LITERATURE FANS: Anyone
can come and read with the group or simply listen - each play is
preceeded by an introduction to the play, it's themes and
Shakespeare's world.
SOCIALISING: We all find
plenty of time for a chat, a coffee, or something a little more
medicinal as the evening commences!
Everyone is expected to bring
along a copy of the relevant script. A “Complete Works” is fine!
Please let me know if you would be interested in attending, and I’ll
keep you up to date on any forthcoming plans.
