It’s a madhouse at BET the past couple of weeks and only getting busier! As opening night is approaching, actors are rehearsing, key props are being sourced, cue sheets are being compiled and content prepared for the edit suite.

All this for a rehearsed, dramatised play reading?

What is a reading you may ask? Do not fret, you won’t be staring at an empty stage with people monotonously reading from books! The concept is a fully rehearsed performance with full technical. The audience experience is as if attending a live radio drama recording. Visual interest is added by acted performance, sound scape, lighting, and essential properties. However, actors are not completely off book, yet fully directed and rehearsed. The viewer experiences the core of theatre, engrossed by the power of the script. We are extremely selective of which scripts can work for this format and are confident that Martin McDonagh’s Beauty Queen of Leenane fits perfectly.
