R.E.A.D #09 festival

This year the festival takes place on 25th and 26th of October at Vallila Stage, formerly Vallilan Kansallisteatteri. Joining the multilingual and multicultural program of A Season at Vallila Stage, this year R.E.A.D’s plays are selected from various geographical locations and will be performed in English.

R.E.A.D is a yearly reading drama festival organized in Helsinki by Post Theatre Collective. The festival which was established in 2014 by David Kozma is an arena that offers the opportunity to get acquainted with plays that have not been performed in Finland before.

R.E.A.D brings together the Finnish audience and local and international theatre makers including playwrights, actors, and directors in an intimate environment. The festival gives a grassroot stage to plays that might not have the possibility of having a stage in Finland, with the hope to influence and diversify the program of the bigger theatre stages in the country.
