Grab your wine, nibbles and notebooks and get ready to join Linda and her fellow “book clubbers” as they attempt to dissect the literary classics, over the course of 12 months.
Described as “sparkling and lively” by The Reviews Hub, this comedy explores the idiosyncrasies of a group of random acquaintances brought together (through Linda’s heavy persuasion) by their love (or mild interest) of books.
As we move through different meetings, each covering an array of classic novels, free flowing wine, endless crisps and small pockets of insight into each character’s life, we’re left with the question: can this motley group of strangers actually become friends? And what exactly is a cheese puff?
With “warmth and humour” (Everything Theatre), Book Club is “a sound choice for an entertaining afternoon or evening. Catch it now before it transforms into something filmic and famous.” — The Reviews Hub
