Come along to the library in November for a rehearsed reading of a new play by our 2024 playwright-in-residence, Ash Flanders.
Ash, a multi-award winning playwright and performer, has spent many hours writing in the library and says he has loved being able to write outside of his wardrobe.
On Thursday 21st November the library will host a rehearsed reading of Commentary. It tells the story of Nick, a filmmaker-turned-film-lecturer, who is offered the chance to record a director's commentary of his one successful film for the Melbourne International Film Festival. This chance leads to him being pulled in countless directions. Is this a comeback or certain death? A chance to reframe and redress the past? And what exactly is he supporting by allowing the film to be shown again?
The rehearsed reading of Commentary will be directed by Matthew Lutton and features Luke Ryan, Brigid Gallacher, Artemis Ioannides, Eva Seymour and Mia Tuco.
The performance will be held on Thursday 21 November with doors opening at 6:00pm with the reading at 6:30pm. This event is free for members and $20 for guests. Bookings can be made through Trybooking using this link.
