Lend Me A Tenor by Ken Ludwig
In Ked Ludwig's Tony award winning comedy, mayhem takes the stage in 1934 Cleveland as world-renowned opera star Tito Merelli is set to perform. But when a double dose of tranquilizers and a case of mistaken identity send the production into a dizzying spiral, it's up to an aspiring assistant to step into the spotlight and save the show.

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
London's high society gets a lesson in ludicrousness when two charming bachelors invent elaborate alter egos to escape societal obligations and woo their beloveds. But when their double lives collide, a witty whirlwind of mistaken identities, sharp repartee, and the formidable Lady Bracknell ensues.
The Zurich English-Speaking Theatre meets almost every Monday evening for a play reading. Potential new members are always welcome - take a look at the reading details on this page for the next reading date. All meetings take place at St. Andrew's Community Centre, near Stadelhofen in central Zurich (see the map below). Doors open around 19:00 for an informal get-together and the reading starts at 19:30 unless otherwise stated. You don't need to sign up or inform us that you are coming, but if you have any questions, please contact us via the General Enquiries page.
Play readings are organised and read by members without rehearsal with scripts in hand and a basic set. Newcomers will not be initially asked to read, but if you'd like to get involved, talk to anyone on the committee and we will be glad to put you down on the reading list.
Monday readings are open to anyone and count towards your membership session count. For more information on membership, see the membership page.
