Play reading

The next play reading will be on Wednesday 9th November at 7-30pm in the theatre bar. The play to be read will be "Stars in the Morning Sky" by a Russian playwright, Alexander Galin. It is set in Moscow during the 1980 Olympic Games, the ones boycotted by the USA, when certain "undesirables" were taken from the streets of Moscow and dumped in a derelict barracks so the city would present a shiny, clean face to the world. The story of these people is told with sensitivity and humour. [Will similar people be removed from London in 2012?] 
 
The play reading after that will be on Wednesday 9th December at 7-30pm in the LIBRARY. The play to be read will be "The Entertainer" by John Osborne. Archie Rice, the entertainer, played by Sir Laurence Olivier in the original production, is a Music Hall artist on the way down and he represents the rundown Britain of the mid 1950's as seen by John Osborne.
