The inaugural meeting of our play reading group was held on Wednesday Feb. 3. It was attended by 18 members all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves immensely while reading various roles in the play.
The play, “Wives Have Their Uses”, is a comedy written by Gwen Meredith. Gwen, of course, wrote “Blue Hills”- 5795 episodes and “The Lawsons”- 1299 episodes. “Wives .... was described as a “witty and sophisticated comedy” by the experts and also “one of the wittiest, entertaining and best constructed comedies by an Australian author” and it put her to the front ranks of Australian playwrights.
Our next reading is ‘The Lady in the Van’ by Alan Bennett. Jenny Sawyer and Bev Lee will co-facilitate this one as I will be away for a week at that time.
