A13 Acting Company and North West End LIVE! are proud to present “A Bit of French”, a series of one act rehearsed readings, none of which have, as yet, received a professional UK performance. Each play will be performed at the iconic Briton’s Protection public house in the heart of Manchester each Monday night throughout November starting at 8pm prompt. This mini festival launches on the 7th November with “Portrait of a Woman” by Michael Vinaver.

 

Directed by Joseph Meighan the play is set in The Court of Assizes in Paris in 1953, and tells the tale of a promiscuous medical student Sophie. Set in a series of flashbacks and real-time, it is a tagi- comedy of bloodthirsty and yet heart-warming proportions.

We are thrilled to announce casting for this 1st play which brings together 10 talented actors from across Manchester to The Briton’s Protection.
