The Captain
by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher (first published 1647)
It’s peace time, and the soldiers of Venice are at a loose end. As relationships start to develop with the gentlewomen of the town, fate intervenes to ensure the course of true love certainly doesn’t run smoothly.
This script-in-hand reading is performed at St Leonard’s Church.
The Captain starred Richard Burbage. This reading takes place in the church where he was buried in 1619. It is one of several events this year marking the 400th anniversary of his death.
Instinctive, adrenalin-filled and inventive, the Read Not Dead ground rules are simple. Actors rehearse the play in the morning and present it, script-in-hand, to an audience later that afternoon.
