Professional actors give readings of short stories at Lancaster’s The Gregson
Professional actors read short contemporary stories at a special event at The Gregson in Lancaster.
The Border Readers is an association of regionally based professional actors who have been presenting live audio events in libraries, art centres, galleries, hostelries, village halls, theatres, pubs and historic houses across the northern English border counties since 2018.
The actor/readers are delighted to be returning to the Gregson, following their sell out debut last autumn with ‘Shore Lines: Stories from the Coast’.
Roberta Kerr, Rebekah Sloan and Stephen Tomlin have strong associations with Lancaster’s cultural life.
All three were involved in the much acclaimed Demi-paradise Shakespeare productions and Deck the Hall Christmas concerts at Lancaster Castle’s Shire Hall between 2000 – 2016 as well as appearing in various Dukes Theatre productions down the years.
Lancaster born and bred Rebekah replaces Helen Longworth, who will be in rehearsal for this year’s Dukes Xmas show.
Roberta is well known for her long run of appearances in Coronation Street, Emmerdale and The Archers while Stephen is remembered by many as the first actor to become a BBC TV Mastermind Champion.
Words of Love consists of four contemporary short stories by Penelope Lively, Helen Hutchinson, Jeremy Page and Kerry Andrew.
The performance is suitable for anyone and fully accessible. Lasts approximately one hour and 50 minutes inclusive of interval.
The Gregson bar will be open throughout.
