About This Event

The Reading Room, co-hosted by Alphabetti Theatre and Live Theatre and led by Ed Cole and JD Stewart, closes its year with an extended two-hour session. It starts with Lee Hall's Spoonface Steinberg (an audio drama available on YouTube, so no script is needed), moves on to Simon Stone's Yerma after Lorca, postponed from October, and finishes with a feedback session where participants can suggest plays for 2027. It is for ages 16+ and free to join, with limited places; the room is upstairs with no step-free access.
