Playreading Club at The Dukes!

On the first Wednesday of every month, come along and meet us in the Gallery to read a play!

This will be a different play every month and can range from Shakespeare to great modern plays. This is such a rare opportunity to bring some incredible writing to life, and chat about the characters and stories. No prior experience is needed, all are welcome to join for the drama, the laughs and a brew.

The sessions will be led by Emma Nixon, who is the Programme Coordinator at the Dukes and works professionally as an Actor including in our 2024 Park Show, Alice in Wonderland, with Three Left Feet and After Dark.

Due to popular demand, this month there will be an extra session held on the Wednesday 22nd October 2025, 6.30pm, in the Gallery, where we will be re-reading The Crucible by Arthur Miller.


Future Playreading Dates are:

Wednesday 12th November, 11.30am: Title to be announced

Wednesday 3rd December, 11.30am: Title to be announced


Places are limited, so please book in advance to avoid disappointment!
