The New World Theatre Club (NWTC) will be holding their next Café Villon, named after its original venue in Luxembourg City, on Monday 29 January at 19:30, at the Foyer Européen (12 rue Heinrich Heine, L-1720 Luxembourg-Gare - Salle Adenauer).

This is a club evening open to the public where people interested in theatre can meet in a relaxed and friendly way. During the evening, two or three pieces of work are presented and discussed, with breaks in between for chatting and refilling glasses. It is an entertaining social evening for like-minded people to meet and expand their enjoyment of theatre.

Three works will be presented: a further prize winner from last year’s LEAPA Playwriting Competition as well as extracts from two as yet unperformed plays.

Café Villon provides a platform for directors and actors to work on a piece of theatre and present it to a live audience. The work is not a performance but more a rehearsed play reading with scripts. After each presentation there is a general discussion about the piece with the director and actors enabling feedback and insights. This is followed by a break before going on to the next piece.

There are plenty of roles to be filled in the planned works, so if anyone would like to participate as an actor (or director), please contact John Brigg (tel. 691-636631 or email: jbrigg@pt.lu).

Those intending to come along as “audience” are asked to please let Rose Flammant know by 27 November at the latest (Rose@nwtc.lu) so that she can ensure the Foyer doorkeeper will let you in.
