Beyond the ordinary play reading session

What an absolute privilege it has been for the online London Playground Theatre group to read such fantastically inspiring pieces of work in 2024 and 2025. All written by wonderfully talented transatlantic playwrights. As the proud host of these reading sessions, each playwright's presence was always integral to the great success of every session. Reading their inspirational and moving words, then every reader having the opportunity to talk directly to the playwright, was simply a huge honour. Extremely grateful to every playwright's time and contribution. Furthermore, invitations were also sent to twelve consecutive female playwrights from November 2024 to October 2025! SO PROUD!
