Literary Student Association Flanor - English

Shakespeare and company - aka, playwrites. We come tigether and read scripts aloud, because that comes closest to how they should be experienced. As long as a script of it can be found, we read it. Primarily the works of Shakespeare, but everyone may pitch new plays! There is absolutely no preparation needed, so you're more than welcome even if you've never read a play.
