Social Play Reading : Till The Stars Come Down

Wait, two play readings in one month?! That’s right! We’re busting the January blues with another preview into our 2026 production with a social reading of our November show ‘Till the Stars Come Down’.
Till the Stars Come Down is a sharp, powerful and funny drama which follows a tight-knit family gathering over one scorching summer day during the wedding of Sylvia and Marek, a Polish immigrant. Set in a former East Midlands mining town, the play follows Sylvia's working-class family as passions ignite and long-held secrets surface, testing loyalties and forcing characters to confront a future full of uncertainty. Described as 'Chekhov on Heineken' the play blends humor and tragedy, exploring complex family dynamics, love, loss, and the scars left by political and economic history.
A critical smash, it premiered in a sell out run at the National Theatre in 2024 and was nominated for Best New Play before transferring to the West End. We’re thrilled to be presenting one of the first community productions this autumn which will be directed by Andy Fletcher.
PLEASE NOTE: These are NOT auditions, simply a fun opportunity to get to know the play. Auditions will be held later in the year (dates TBC)
