Read Me! – An Improv Concept in English and German by Clara Hudel

Books: We buy them, we exchange them. We pack them tightly onto shelves, side by side. As if they were mere objects, without a soul. But deep down we know: They contain a whole life of their own, full of secrets, emotions, adventures… What would happen if they came alive to tell their own stories? What would they have to say about you, about the people who read them? An interactive improv performance where you can read books of all kinds – but the books might talk back!

About us

The Pennyless Players are a charitable, open, English-language theatre group based in Graz. We have been performing plays for over 16 years, while also hosting smaller events like workshops in between. Our group is diverse and welcomes everybody passionate about theatre, both actors and those who work behind the scenes, no matter their experience, as we see ourselves as an accessible entry point into the Grazer Freie Szene and the wider world of theatre. We donate all our proceeds to charity.
