Table Read – A Platform for Artistic Exchange

Table Read is a new actor-focused initiative that creates space for theatre artists to explore contemporary plays, develop their practice, and engage in meaningful dialogue with peers.
Conceived and designed by Shane O’Reilly, this initiative focuses on performance and creative exchange, centring the actor’s voice while welcoming collaboration across disciplines.
