Join us for a reading of Breffni O’Rourke’s new play, The Elephant in the Room.
If you’re curious about how a story comes to the stage, then come along to our New Play Reading series. A play reading is a simple event designed to let a playwright hear their work read aloud in a staged reading, and get feedback from the audience. There is a moderator who reads the stage directions and various readers who read each part of the script. After the reading, there is a Q&A session for feedback and discussion that can be really helpful for the playwright in the next stage of development.
The Elephant in the Room is about the unspoken: the Elephant. Did you go on an OE and do things that you didn’t tell people about when you got home? Those things that “happened on tour” that needed to “stay on tour”. Or have you ever found out something about your partner that made you wonder if you would be their partner now if you’d known that beforehand?
The Elephant in the Room is based on a true story about the things in our lives that we may not always reveal, knowing that it could change how people might feel about us.
