All My Pretty Ones by Patrick B Hayes – Playreading

Entity’s playreading circle continues on 10 October 2026 with a reading of All My Pretty Ones by Patrick B Hayes.

Three young medical students, hoping to reach the sun-soaked beaches of the French Riviera, instead find themselves stranded at a remote railway station near the ruined village of Oradour-sur-Glane. By chance, they are taken in by the mysterious Maurice, who runs a local Auberge.

After discovering a wartime diary, strange events begin to occur, seeming to blur the dividing line between dark wartime events and the present day. Their journey leads them to the tragic events of Oradour-sur-Glane, and a strange connection between each of them and the wartime inhabitants.

Based on real events, the play takes place in both the modern day, and occupied France in 1944. Of course, it all happened over 80 years ago. It could never happen again…could it?

This event will be hosted by Barrett Jones and will take place in the Büchersalon room at MUCCA. There is a maximum of 20 “reading” participants, so sign up quickly here.

If you are just interested in coming along to listen and discuss the play being read, that is also possible. Just mention in the registration form that you are a “listen only” participant. This event is free for Entity Members, non-members pay 5€.
