We had an hilarious time with our November class. The play we read was… wait for it… “The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of Macbeth”. This is quite a mouthful!
The scene was the dramatic society’s production of Macbeth and all the pitfalls along the way. In reading the play we needed to be aware of when we were playing a member of the society and when that member was playing a character in Macbeth. With the first act the set had been set up in reverse, so the actors were playing with their backs to the audience. And when the actor to play Lady Macbeth got lost on the way to the theatre, the male stage hand (the only male in the cast) was forced into playing the part. Lots of mistake along the way with people forgetting lines, repeating lines, and our mis-reading of some of the lines only added to the hilarity. We all enjoyed a light very funny play to end the year. Our Christmas breakup is morning tea on 5 December, meeting at the Art Gallery at 10:30. Joy Shirley |

Thank you, Jenny
In late 2022 Jenny McKenna stepped down from her convening roles in the Play Reading group after almost five years.
In February 2018 Jenny took over the co-convening 'admin support role' involving liaising with the Victorian Drama League to access our chosen plays. This involved ordering and returning plays, and collecting weekly contributions towards costs. Then, as Keith Rogers scaled down his role as convenor and 'creative director', Jenny stepped up to write newsletter reports, gradually taking on the role. Jenny continued in the role of convenor for over two years with the support of a small team in helping to choose the plays. Thank you so much for your passion for play reading and the energies you put into ensuring the ongoing presence of Play Reading in the U3A Program, Jenny. ResourcesCourse Information/
