A night out on the town may be out of the question but a night at the theatre isn’t. Bowen’s Theatre on the Isle group (TOTI) is bringing islanders a different kind of stage.
Every Monday evening at 7:30 p.m., the society is presenting “Inside the Actor’s Quarantine,” live readings of short plays over the video conferencing platform Zoom.
Last week was The Real Inspector Hound, this week it’s Alan Ayckbourn’s Mother Figure, a story of isolation and need for human connection (according to a quick Google search).
“This short comedy explores the good, the bad and the ugly sides of stay-at-home parenting––and offers a valuable lesson for nosy neighbours,” reads TOTI’s blurb. The actors tonight are Jackie Minns, David Cameron, Laurel Bailey and Kat Stephens.
It’s a tune-in or miss it event––they’re not publishing recordings of the readings.
The Zoom access is posted every Monday at 7 p.m. on TOTI’s Facebook Page.
If you miss this week’s, don’t worry, there’s always next week’s play.
