SUMMARY:Live@TheLibrary: "Book Club" and "Legacy"
DESCRIPTION:Eyeline Theatre bring two amazing shorts presented by professional actors and directors. \n\n\n\n\nBook Club. by Philip Stiles. \nMaddie and George are newbies in a suburban avenue in Manchester. They join a local book club in order to get to know their neighbours. It’s their turn to host. The evening hobbles along a tad awkwardly when a stranger knocks at the door only to turn everything on its head. Think Madame Arcati meets Abigail’s Party! \nLegacy. by Patricia Cunningham. \nThat old chestnut – family feuds. Mattie\, visually-impaired\, is adamant that he will have nothing to do with his son Dominic who he believes has sold something very precious to him\, a gift passed down from his father and now to Dominic. Dominic\, a student\, strives to make contact. Mattie’s wife and Dominic’s mother\, Cathy\, is sandwiched in the middle and tries to act as go-between. Things inevitably come to a head. Will peace and harmony return or is this the end of the father-son relationship? \nEyeline Theatre and Productions\, a Community Interest Company works with experienced professionals and new and emerging actors and writers. We include mentoring and dramaturgy. \nOur monthly writers’ script R &D workshops are very popular and productive for both writers and actors who read the material. \nDuring production rehearsals\, we open up a short window to the public for one hour to those with an interest in the art of performance. \nWe are dedicated to the creative arts and strive to bring artists together to network in a relaxed and enjoyable medium. \n\nTickets bookable in the link below.

Bring your own book and read in companionable quiet. It’s like an Introvert Happy Hour!  \n\n\n\nWhat do I bring?  \n\n\n\nBring your current read\, or choose one when you get here. Bring a friend\, or come by yourself.  \n\n\n\nHow silent will it be?  \n\n\n\nWe’re meeting in public\, so there will be some ambient noise. Feel free to bring headphones\, book lights or ear defenders if you want. We read together quietly with no expectation of talking.  \n\n\n\nDo I have to read?  \n\n\n\nYou can read anything in any format\, or bring along homework\, writing\, art or craft – anything you can work on quietly! Fancy a chat?  \n\n\n\nFeel free to stay afterwards and socialise – but there’s no pressure to do this\, and the club will officially end after an hour of reading.

SUMMARY:Play\, Learn and Grow
