Our Play Reading group numbered seven this month, nonetheless some very competent performances were presented. We read Falling from Grace, a play written by noted Australian playwright Hannie Rayson. The play portrayed female power in medicine, media and the office, positions held by best friends in the professional world. While juggling careers, families and lovers the friendships are tested. An enjoyable play which produced much discussion about offensive language in modern theatre and what is appropriate.

Thank you, JennyIn 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/
