Edge of London has been based at the Charles Cryer Theatre for three years, and meets there once or twice a month.

It's always good to hear from actors keen to read through new scripts - useful to the writer but equally of use to the actor who likes the challenge of a new role and interpretation of untried text.

Acting, like writing, can be a lonely existence.  You may often have to take 'outside' jobs and while doing so are neither maintaining your skills nor networking to pick up audition news and make new contacts.

Actors Together @ the Cryer may be the answer…

When EoL meets at the theatre there's usually enough material to be read through or discussed, but if on occasion there isn't, the rest of the evening can be given over to acting practice.  Not a tutor-led class or even an organised workshop - it's up to those present to devise what they feel would be useful at that time.  So one way or another, there's usually performance to get involved in.

We normally inhabit the Cryer's rehearsal room but are able to use the Studio itself when it's free.

After our time in the theatre (usually 7.30 to 9.30 pm) many of us retire to the cheap pub next door, or occasionally the more plush Greyhound up the road.

So Actors Together brings actors together.  It offers the opportunity of regular script reading (useful for those auditions when a cold script is thrust at you!) and possibly devising and impro exercises to help keep skills in practise.  It's a chance to network, hear about potential work and make new friends.

What's the downside?  A small cost.  EoL is totally independent and as such we have to hire the space at the Cryer.  To help cover this cost, there's a flat entry fee of £3 per visit, whether writer, actor or spectator.  It seems the fairest way to recoup the expense.
