From Kenny & Karen
Hello All,
We hope this email finds you well. As some might have already know,
we will be staging a dramatised reading of one of Eleanor Wong's
earlier works, "Jackson on a Jaunt", on the 26th, 27th, & 28th
of October, Thursday, Friday & Saturday respectively. It starts
at 8pm and will end at around 9:30pm. For those who don't, we will
try to explain as we go along.
The reading will be staged in the bookstore, and due to that, as
usual, we are facing seating capacity limitations. It is staged
over three nights, and each night we would only be able to take in
25 individuals. Tickets are set at $7.00 each (with surprise
Cupcakes [with a capital "C", mind you] & Tea included), eating
& drinking starts after the reading (no greedy people tempting
our actors, please!).
And before we announce the news of the ticket sales to our customer
database, we thought it'd be prudent of us to inform you first.
Yes, YOU, you whom we know as good friends of BooksActually.
Friends that have seen our ups & downs, and friends that have
so kindly burned their wallets & pockets everytime when you
come.
Do note that it is meant as a non-profit event for the store, so
your ticket price is being used to cover the staging materials
cost, and of course, the food. Now, we can't do without food, can
we?
Thus, if you are interested to come for this dramatised reading, do
quickly inform us so that we can set aside the tickets for you. Oh
yes, this earlier play from Eleanor Wong hasn't been staged since
1990, so it will be an interesting outing for everyone who is
coming.
p.s.
Yes, we love you burning your pockets for us but, hanging out at
the store with us, would have the same happy-panadol-popping effect
too. So come hang out, thumb thru the books, re-arrange the books
by colour scheme, tease how Kenny is getting fatter nowadays, quote
Shakespeare to us, leave your wallets & nets card at home, tea
is on us, and we will let you play with our typewriters too!
best
Karen & Kenny
