Theatre for Enthusiasts

The group is for people who enjoy watching theatre and performance of different kinds and who want to understand more about what it takes to mount a production, taking it from the page to the stage. Each month members watch a chosen production beforehand, either screened at a local cinema through National Theatre Live or streamed at home, as well as attending local theatres and theatres further afield. The first half of each meeting discusses the play, the acting and the technical and design elements, and the second half looks at one aspect of mounting a production, such as what a director does or how designers go about their work. It meets on the third Monday of the month, from 2pm until 4pm, at a member's home.
