Kath and Kin had it’s first public reading last night. I’d invited some people from a couple of AmDram groups I belong to and we met up in a pub in Ottershaw.

It was great to hear Kath and her family coming to life. Those present certainly enjoyed the play and I was able to pick out bits that I felt weren’t working which was good.

I can already see two of the characters only seem to be there for the sake of the plot and not for themselves. If I cut them it will also mean cutting my clever ploy on the cronology of the play. It is difficult to know wether this would have worked anyway, and a number of people have asked how I would have got it across to an audience.

A great night, and thanks to all those who came and read the parts.
