Logistics and casting for tomorrow's readthrough of The Duchess of Padua.

Software: We'll be using Zoom. Ideally you would download a client here, beforehand (available for Windows, Mac and Linux). I've enabled the setting that means you can join through a browser, but apparently it works less well than the client.

I'll open the meeting a few minutes before 14:30 on Saturday, and then you'll be able to join either by clicking on this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3141627183?pwd=WXhscDBQLytBcFh1akFFRllWY0JxUT09 or by opening the client, going to Join, and then entering 314-162-7183 as the meeting ID and 584680 as the password.

This looks like fun! 1st Citizen seems excellently snarky.

Thanks for organising this; I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for organising. It was good fun. Will definitely come along to more soon.

I had a really good time - thank you. I thought the play had a couple of wrinkles that would have been ironed out if it had been performed more, but on the whole I thought it was good!
