The September instalment of the Playwrights Workshop Trinbago (PWT) Monthly Readers Theatre Series (MRTS), held the first Wednesday of every month, will feature the cold reading of The Arrival of Scald, a new script written by Judith Theodore. The reading will take place on Wednesday September 6 at 7:00 PM (GMT -4) online via Zoom only.
Scald arrives from the country to work in the city. He encounters a group of friends who welcome him into their group. He however finds himself in one scrape after another and considers himself unlucky. His new friends try to give him support as he stumbles from one escapade to the next.
Theodore is a veteran playwright, actress and dancer who has starred in a number of film and stage productions. She was a participant in the Cropper Foundation Residential Writing Workshop in 2005, the Trinity-in-Trinidad Playwright Workshop taught by Tony Hall, and the UTT Craft of Fiction Creative Workshop conducted by Elizabeth Nunez. Two of her plays, ‘Dey Dey Gets a House’ and ‘Tabanca’ were workshopped in the NDATT New Play Festival. She has short stories in three anthologies and has published her own anthology of stories in ‘Told by the River’.
Playwrights Workshop Trinbago (PWT) is inviting actors, playwrights, directors, producers and the general public to join us via Zoom to listen to the cold reading and participate in the discussion to assist the playwright with the further development of the script.
The event will be held on Wednesday September 6 at 7:00 PM (GMT -4).
