Welcome to Little Theatre of Norfolk
Welcome to Little Theatre of Norfolk
Script Club is like a book club for theatre lovers! We will read play scripts instead of novels. Some plays are ones we may consider for future seasons, while others have elements limiting the ability to produce them locally.
We are offering three options this round. Read as many as you wish!
Each play follows its own schedule of virtual meetings.
Is there a play you would like for us to read? Let us know at info@ltnonline.org.

Are you intimidated by Shakespeare? Just don’t get all the language? Do you LOVE Shakespeare and want an excuse to read it? Join us as we read and discuss Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. Arguably one of Shakespeare’s “problem plays,” The Winter’s Tale vacillates from comedy to tragedy to romance. We’ll delve into the history of the story (like many of his tales, Shakespeare “borrowed” the plot), as well as how it related to audiences of Shakespeare’s time.

Gather with us as we delve into the fun and excitement of one of Agatha Christie’s most popular murder mysteries in play form (which is also a novel and a movie!), And Then There Were None! Did you know that this play has two endings? Who dunnit? We will find out as we read death by death through the play in three short evenings. And we will discuss the alternative endings when all will be revealed! Ten little soldier boys went out to dine, one choked himself and then there nine. Find out who didn’t make it through supper and who did!

Facilitated by Jeffrey Corriveau
Join us as we delve into a work which has captured the imagination of our time – and perhaps all time. A play that is questionably a tragedy, a comedy, a morality play, and an existential abyss that has been debated for decades. This play is considered one of the most moving plays of our generation. “A play suffused with tenderness for the whole human perplexity; with phrases that come like a sharp stab of beauty and pain.” -London Times.
