Performance for D21 Club Members | Terra Incognita
The talented bunch at Discover 21 have let us know Terra Incognita will be running this Monday 12 at 7pm. Open to members only, this month’s text is The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter and will be run by fabulous guest host Angela Milton.
Come along and get familiar with the play, or re-familiarise if it’s one you already know. Bring a copy if you have one, but don’t worry if you don’t. Volunteer to read a section or just listen.
