Lunchtime play reading of extracts from Thornton Wilder's rarely produced sequence 'The Ages of Man'.
About this Event

A celebration of the first ever lunchtime plays produced at the original Soho Poly in 1972. Lunchtime theatre went on to become a prominent feature of London's alternative theatre scene in the 1970s, reaching new audiences and contributing to a radical change in the way plays were written and understood. Come and enjoy the experience firsthand with this reading of rarely performed work by the great American playwright Thornton Wilder, in collaboration with the Noël Coward Foundation.


This event is part of Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 7–16 November 2024. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. For further information please see beinghumanfestival.org.
