Arch 468 is hosting a series of play readings of great plays that we feel like we should have read and we’d like it if you joined us.

Every month, we’ll meet at Arch 468 and take it in turns to read the play aloud. This isn’t a performance and we’ll expect everyone to join in and read a bit (even if it’s just the stage directions).

There’ll be drinks and snacks and a chance to talk about the play afterwards before voting for which play to read at the next session.

Everyone is welcome, and we ask each participant to contribute £2 ‘subs’ towards the cost of refreshments and producing the scripts.

If you’d like to come along, just let us know in advance by emailing canon@arch468.com

Dates:

Further dates to be announced.

We’ve had to put Arch 468: Canon Fodder on temporary hold to make space for some of our other projects - if you’d like to be added to our mailing list so we can let you know when the next reading will be, then email us via this link.
