The Playhouse Company invites you to our reading of 'Road' by Jim Cartwright taking place on Monday 25th November at Cheltenham Playhouse in the Lounge Bar - 19.30

Play Synopsis
---------------

Under the guidance of the rum-soaked wideboy Scullery, we are taken on an evening's tour of a scruffy, depressed road in a small Lancashire town. Moving from street corner to living room, from bedroom to kitchen, we meet the inhabitants of young, middle-aged, and old, glimpsing their socially and emotionally wretched lives, in this sharp, sad, funny, and angry play.

Play readings offer a low-pressure environment to familiarise yourself with the script and its characters, there is no pressure to read if you would prefer only to listen.
