REP meets regularly online to read & explore drama written before the closure of the London theatres in 1642. Each play is introduced by Dr Martin Wiggins.
We are not fans of some of the things this site links to. Please follow us at https://t.co/9VtdsOpNyp for all your Early Modern reading needs. (And cats.)
Is the world too cheerful right now? Sick of being lighthearted and jolly?
Join us tonight at 7.30 as we celebrate the 1611 revival of The Play That Dare Not Speak Its Name. More fun than you might think!

We return this evening to read and celebrate Ben Jonson's "The Alchemist" - lots of fun. Lots of words too, because, BenJo. Hence the 7.00 start.
Join us!

We wish you all the very best of new years.
Why not come and join us in time for the new season of Zoom readings? Fun, frivolity and genuine academic enquiry, starting again next Wednesday with "The Alchemist" at 7.00 (because, Ben Jonson).

As our reading session has come to a close, all that remains is to wish you and yours a merry Christmas (or happy holidays if you prefer) and all the very best for a wonderful new year.
We start again on Wednesday 8th January with Jonson's "The Alchemist" - long, but fun.
Join us tonight for racism and villainy in Venice and points East. Yes, time for a revival of The Moor of Venice, 7.30 on a Zoom screen near you.
(Another Venetian play without canals!)(But there are ships at sea.)

@BeingHumanFest
The long tradition of early modern #playreading at the Institute continues! Here we are, cosily ensconced against the dark and cold, reading the gory and metrically-interesting delight that is #Heywood's #Thyestes 🩸🗡️🦵🍽️
Need a bit of tragicomic cheer? All the rage in the 1600s! Join us tonight at 7.30 for "Philaster", Beaumont and Fletcher's play of cross-dressing, subterfuge and betrayal. Fun for all!

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Timothy West
We would like to extend our heartfelt sympathies to Timothy’s family and friends – in particular to his wife Prunella and children, including Samuel, who is an Associate Artist and will play Malvolio in Twelfth Night
