Is it possible to celebrate the unreformed Holy Week liturgies, the ones prior to the 1950’s reforms?

Probably not. And why would you want to? The Triduum is so beautiful.
If all you want to do is read the readings of the day, you can read them online at www.usccb.org

Unfortunately, only in the Anglican Ordinariate, but I might be wrong on that.

The only Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite that is permitted by Summorum pontificum is that found in the books of 1962.

One of my Gregorian chant friends is doing this privately this Triduum. Of course it isn’t liturgy but rather a chant exercise; he’s chanting the Tenebrae office; took him 2.5 hours on Holy Thursday 
If you want to do something “different” try the Monastic Office. The post-Vatican II Monastic Antiphonary of 2005 has many vestiges of the older practices:
-No opening verse
-No doxology after the psalms (“Gloria patri”)
-Gradual “Christus factus est” instead of the responsory
-No concluding rites.
-Reading/chanting of the Lamentations at Vigils (Office of Readings; which can be done in the LOTH if using the two-year lectionary)
It’s a bit like the Good Friday service that opens right up with a prayer, no introductory rites.
Tenebrae has been lost post-1955; it was at the end of anticipated Matins and Lauds (yes, pre 1955 Lauds was anticipated the previous evening; and for that matter, the Paschal Vigil was during the day on Holy Saturday).
