Social play reading:
The Tempest
by William Shakespeare
|
Tuesday 7th July 2026, 7:10pm for a 7:30pm start
|
|
at the Rondo Theatre, St. Saviours Road, Bath, BA1 6RT
|
Come along to the next social play reading for a sneak preview of RTC's Spring 2027 show - another Shakespeare classic: The Tempest! The text has already been stripped back to create a punchy script, with themes both funny and heartfelt. It'll be a very relaxed evening - all you need to bring is yourself and maybe a snack or two to share!
The tale follows Prospero, a deposed Duke living on a mysterious island where he commands spirits and magic. When a ship carrying old enemies sails nearby, Prospero conjures a powerful storm to bring them ashore. As the castaways explore the strange island, secrets surface, alliances shift, and Prospero carefully orchestrates events from the shadows. The Tempest is the last play Shakespeare wrote entirely by himself (supposedly!) and is widely considered to be his love letter to theatre, beautifully blending music, song and prose.
|
Jazz Hazelwood-Rose will be at the helm for this one, so expect some gender-queering, silliness, and a dash of chaos. Please note: this isn't an audition, but is a chance for Jazz to see the script in its edited form and for everyone to have a relaxed, sociable evening. Any questions ahead of time can be emailed to Jazz: jazzghazelwood@gmail.com.
|
All are welcome at our social play readings, where we'll read the play in full, script in hand. There will be breaks to top up teas, discuss the text and dream up staging and casting! There's no pressure to read if you don't want to but everyone will get the chance to regardless of age/ gender/ etc.
If you think you might be late - come anyway! These events are very relaxed and we'd love for you to join us.

|
If you have any access needs / accommodations, don't hesitate to let us know and we'll do our best to support you.

Committee Business
Join the Committee!
We are looking to expand the Rondo Theatre Committee.
|
We are very sadly saying goodbye to two members of the Rondo Theatre Committee:
|
|
Firstly, our stalwart and incredible Social Media and Marketing Lead Josie Mae-Ross, who has done nothing less than revolutionise the way the Rondo Theatre Company sells its productions, bringing a varied and highly original identity to the company's social image. She is now moving on to bigger and better things and we thank her for all her tireless work for the RTC over the past three years.
|
Secondly, we are also saying farewell to Meg Robertson, who is stepping down from her role in the committee for pastures new. We wish her all the very best moving forward.
|
|
Consequently, we are looking to expand our committee with a whole host of new members!
|
As a committee member, you will:
|
- Help oversee the organisation and development of the company and its three yearly productions
- Have the opportunity to act as producer on one of our productions
- Help build and maintain our social media presence and help create marketing materials for our shows
- Attend committee meetings (either in person or virtually) to discuss the progress of our productions and social events (meetings take place once every few months)
- Have the opportunity to run one of our monthly social play readings
Please note that this is an unpaid opportunity.
