Queenstown Shakespeare is not only preparing to perform its final play reading of the year, but also to consider transforming the trust into an incorporated society on Sunday.
Theatrical group members Justin Cochran, David Cantwell, Lindsay Woods, Lisa Nilsen, Nikkie Whitehead plus president and director Jo Blick will give a reading of Living Together, by Alan Ayckbourn.
It is the second play in his Norman Conquest Trilogy and is a comedy of manners about relationships between brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, parents and children and boyfriends and girlfriends in one house over a single weekend.
The third part is likely to be read when the group's play-reading season resumes next winter.
"I think Norman is the most marvellous character in modern British theatre," Ms Blick said.
"He's a loveable monster, and Justin captures his awfulness beautifully."
The play reading will be held in the Qpact rooms, on the corner of Ballarat and Henry Sts, on Sunday at 6.30pm.
The bar will be open and admission free for members. Admission is $5 for the public and doubles as the membership fee to join Queenstown Shakespeare.
The show will be followed by a general meeting to consider the committee's proposal to wind up the trust and reform as an incorporated society, Ms Blick said.
"The town is so transient and lots of people want to help, but it's a rigmarole to take them on or off the trust."
