Play-Reading Club
ESU (HK) Online Play-Reading Club - Fourteen by by Alice Gerstenberg
Fourteen premiered in 1919 in San Francisco. This social farce makes a mockery of the rules for dinners being hosted at home. This delightfully dated play offers insight into the way people entertained over a century ago. There are three parts and readers can take turns joining in as they wish.
Mrs. Pringle is preparing to host a dinner party to introduce her daughter, Elaine, to the city's most eligible bachelor, Oliver Farnsworth. Illness and a blizzard force some guests to cancel and the three characters are compelled to try to salvage the evening and the dinner-table layout.
Join us for a fun online reading and discussion of this play. Plenty of characters for everybody to have a try at whomever they wish to be!
