Fabulous Fridays

7-9pm, Friday 24 April 2026, upstairs at the Quaker Meeting House

Our second Fabulous Friday will be a couple of drama games followed by script exercises. We agreed to do a different extract from the same play because we liked it so much and because we want to find out who Daisy is! Thanks again to everyone who came to the first one and being so engaged which is what made it so enjoyable.

Fabulous Fridays are opportunities for members to try out acting and theatre skills in a relaxed environment. Sessions will include drama games, experimenting with scripts, acting exercises and chatting over cups of tea.

We aim to create a space that inspires creative collaborations and future productions.

Run by Jocelyn Pye and Paul Davies.
