Coventry’s Belgrade has revealed it will stage Unplugged, a week-long performance programme at venues throughout Coventry and Warwickshire.
It will offer audiences an opportunity to preview rehearsed readings from the Belgrade’s autumn season of home-produced drama.
Audiences can look forward to readings from a selection of upcoming productions including the world première of Peter Arnott’s Propaganda Swing, the 2Tone musical Three Minute Heroes and the Christmas show Oh No It Isn’t.
The Belgrade’s artistic director Hamish Glen said, “these rehearsed readings aren’t fully realised productions with big sets and lighting; they’re stripped-back readings that I’m putting together with a group of talented actors to give a taste of what’s in store at the Belgrade throughout the rest of the year.”
Among the venues for the readings will be the Establishment Bar and Grill, Coventry, Nicholas Chamberlaine Almshouses in Bedworth, Touchwood shopping centre in Solihull, historic Upton House near Banbury, Rugby Museum and Art Gallery, the Lunt roman fort and the former site of a medieval quarry, Primrose Hill Park in Hillfields, Coventry.
The readings will be performed from Saturday 19 July until Saturday 26 July at various times. Further information is available at the Belgrade Theatre web site.
