Rehearsed Play Reading done and dusted

The Rehearsed Play Reading on Saturday was far from a polished performance, but a very creditable "production", bearing in mind that we had only 4 read-throughs, including one where we pencilled out swathes of text, and that the rehearsal space was my living room. 25 of us entertained, or were on the receiving end of, the combined efforts of Mark Youngs and Liz Reeves, Liz Herdson as an ott mother, Geoffrey (you'd never think I was nearly 60) Speechly, Dorothy Leiper trying out a Yorkshire accent, Jan Hudson looking gorgeous in a long blond wig and Dave Kelly being convincingly menacing. Maureen Callon kept us all in order.
Supper was served in the interval, washed down by byo's and everyone went away happy.

We must try it again later in the year, in the summer perhaps. Meanwhile, outside the snow is melting and traffic moving again.
