The Makers Of Theatre's road trip to Soho Theatre

... And no, we haven't been commisioned to produce there ... yet!

But we had forgotten to mention that we will be attending a playreading today. We're hoping to learn from the performance in advance of our own readings this December.

StoneCrabs' Joint Artistic Director Kwong Loke will be directing wAve, by Sung Rno. It's part of Typhoon 5, the International East Asian Playreading Festival taking place at Soho Theatre until Saturday 8th November.

Kwong has been leading our text analysis workshops within the Theatre Training Programme. It will be interesting to see how he applies what he has taught us to enhance the performance. We are specifically interested in learning what to expect from a playreading with a similar rehearsal and running time to ours. Although we know Kwong has to deal with many more actors!

We are sure to have lots of questions about the rehearsal process by the time Saturday's workshop comes around. As a group we hope to see as many performances as possible, to learn from them and to encourage debate. So look out for comments on how what we see over the next five weeks might impact our own play-readings.
