Scripted Social - Monthly Play Reading Group (Pity by Rory Mullarkey)

We invite you along to 53two Studio in Manchester for our May play exploration group session ran by Jessica Moir who is a creative facilitator and director! Join us on 30th May, 2026 at 10:00 AM to dive into our selected script which for this month is Pity by Rory Mullarkey! Let's gather together, share our thoughts, and enjoy the magic of theatre in a safe, communal setting. No acting experience required, just bring your enthusiasm and love for the stage!

Our morning is spent reading the plays and in the afternoon, we play around with some of the scenes in a relaxed, loose rehearsal setting!

See you there!

Pity by Rory Mullarkey

A normal day. A person stands in the market square watching the world go by.
What happens next verges on the ridiculous.
There's ice cream. Sunshine. Shops. Some dogs. A wedding. Bombs. Candles. Blood. Lightning. Sandwiches. Snipers. Looting. Gunshots. Babies. Actors. Azaleas. Famine. Fountains. Statues. Atrocities. And tanks. (Probably).
Rory Mullarkey's new play asks whether things really are getting worse. And if we care.
