The University of Kent Players are extremely excited to be back with social readthrough events throughout November. We’ll be providing both in-person and virtual sessions to get together and get theatrical!

Our readthroughs are an excellent opportunity to meet up with fellow actors and theatre enthusiasts, and make new friends from across the University. You don’t need any previous experience to get involved; just be welcoming, friendly and supportive of your peers!

What are we reading?

Relative Values | Noël Coward

This comedy of manners, set in East Kent, follows an eventful dinner at the grand residence of Marshwood House. When the Countess’ son invites his fiancé, American actress Miranda Frayle, his mother is by no means pleased…

And Then There Were None | Agatha Christie

Eight disparate guests arrive at an isolated mansion located on an island off the coast of Devon tended by two staff but no host. A recording accuses all ten people of past crimes that went unpunished by the law. Soon they start dying one at a time, and the remaining guests deduce that the murderer is one of their own.

Frankenstein | Mary Shelly, Tim Shelly

25th November 2021 | 17.30 – 18.30 | Microsoft Teams (virtual)

No one can shake free the dark secret that terrifies Victor: not his mother, nor his fiancée, nor his best friend. Even the pleading of a gypsy girl accused of murdering Victor’s younger brother falls on deaf ears, for Victor has brought into being a creature made from pieces of the dead.
