A night of table-top theatre and creative conversation

Calling all theatre lovers! Grab a wine, get comfy, and listen to a play brought to life by some of Darwin’s best local actors.

From the classics such as Shakespeare, Chekov, and Greek tragedy, to modern Australian plays and fresh local scripts, this is your night to experience theatre at its most stripped-back, low-stakes, and budget-friendly.

Stay after the play-reading to discuss the play, chat about theatre, meet new people, and network with other creatives.

Like a book club… but with more drama.
