Readthrough

Last night we had a readthrough of the play. This is for the benefit of the group membership, so that people can get an idea what the play's about and if there are any parts they would like to audition for.

From my point of view it was a great success. Around 25 people turned up - most of them to read - and the majority will be auditioning. Which is great because they all read very well and lifted the script off the page to a certain extent already. I knew that the play was amusing, but I hadn't realised that it was drop-dead funny too!

Hopefully we also have a handful of people coming along to audition who were unable to attend the reading. If so, I'm going to be slightly spoiled for choice and at least half of those who showed an interest will end up disappointed.
