The Readings is a new series of exciting Tasmanian play readings which are happening at Salamanca Arts Centre in partnership with Australian Plays Transform (APT).

To begin this series, we are reading from Roulette by Raimondo Cortese - who will be joining us via Zoom on the day to talk about the origins of the play and what it’s like to see hear it in 2021.

Join us on Sunday 12 December at 3pm for drinks in the Founders Room to celebrate the talent that is generated on the island and to hear Raimondo’s incredible work delivered by a group of talented Tasmanian actors.

Roulette is a series of twelve plays, set in twelve different locations. The plays are based on themes drawn from an ancient Chinese cosmology called the 12 Branches of Life. Roulette considers chance meetings. In each play, two people meet in different situations, allowing for an exploration of a revealing mosaic of human interaction across a range of emotional landscapes.

The pieces being read are:
Inconsolable
Hotel
Borneo
Break-In
