SIX ACTORS IN SEARCH OF A DIRECTOR

We are thrilled to be be back performing at the Seagull Theatre on 21st to 23rd November 2024.

Six actors are on a movie set, waiting for their call. Until then they sit in limbo. We witness their interactions, aspirations and reminiscences as they wait for the director to bring them to life.

First performed in 2012, this comedy by Steven Berkoff explores the collective need for expression and appreciation.

OUR NEXT READING

Our readings are open to members and non-members alike; come along, meet some like-minded people, and read an interesting script on the first Tuesday of every month.

Abigail's Party by Mike Leigh

Tuesday 15th October, 7.30pm at The Friends' Meeting House, Pakefield Street, Lowestoft. 

Comedy of manners focusing on the bourgeois affectation and sexual frustration of a young married couple.

Abigail's mother Sue is invited to take refuge from her teenage daughter's party with a neighbouring couple, Beverly and Laurence. They have also invited Angela and Tony, new arrivals in the street. Beverly plies her guests with alcohol as Sue becomes increasingly withdrawn and embarrassed by the pretentious goings-on.

Slowly, marital tensions emerge and the evening is breaking up in disarray when Laurence collapses with a heart attack.

Places at this play reading are strictly limited so booking is essential, please email chair@redherringtheatrecompany.com to reserve your space. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept participants arriving on the evening without prior booking.
