# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Dead Souls - Table Read
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: July's monthly play reading will be of our autumn production, Dead Souls - a dark and absurd comedy based on Nikolai Gogol's novel.  

Chichikov is a man with a plan. If he can persuade landowners to transfer to him ownership of all the serfs who have died since the last census, he will look on paper like a very wealthy man. As he rides in his carriage from estate to estate, encountering ever more absurd characters, his greed and ambition grow – but so too do the suspicions of those he meets.

Adapted by Dan Rebellato, the play was written for BBC Radio 4’s Classic Serial programme and starred Mark Heap as Chichikov and Michael Palin as the Narrator. Where the second book of Gogol’s novel is incomplete, Rebellato has embellished and restructured the story to create a two part drama that emphasises the picaresque nature of the tale.

Auditions will follow Wed 22 Jul & Sat 25 July. Full details over on our website: https://theegtg.com/auditions/
