The play we have chosen for March, 'The Lady in the Van', will be screening towards the end of the month at BPACC and undoubtedly will show at Swanpool in future. Reading the play will therefore have special interest! Here is a trailer for the movie to set the mood for the play reading and remind you of it later on... A Synopsis: In 1974, Alan Bennet encountered Miss Mary Shepherd, an elderly eccentric living in a van in the street near his home in Camden Town. He eventually allowed her to park her van in his garden, the idea being that she would stay three months - but those three months extended to fifteen years. .....a wonderfully bittersweet comic diary of the years in which a lethally dotty and very smelly old woman parked her unroadworthy vehicle in Alan Bennett's garden, thereby providing him with a roughly equal amount of good journalistic copy and guilty landlordly irritation. (From YouTube brief).

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/
