One of Shakespeare's first plays and a comedy about romance, bromance, and societal breakdown. This event will involve a first read through of the play that will function as an informal audition for the moved reading which will take place on 20 June. The reading itself will be a fun and relaxed exploration of the text, characters, and some important themes, as well as an opportunity to perform at the New Fortune Theatre.
