Theatre people love to read, readers love theatre. This book club is for us.
In this first cycle of the Theatre Book Club we'll meet to discuss 4 books centered around Shakespeare.
How does it work? Each month we'll read a book with a theatrical theme or theatrical characters, meet to discuss it over vermouth, and repeat the following month.
You don't have to finish the whole book to attend the meeting. It's totally fine to show up and say "I didn't finish it because I didn't like it" or "I didn't finish it because I didn't have time" or "I only watched the movie."
This month's book is If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio:
Oliver Marks has just served ten years in jail - for a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the man who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened a decade ago.
As one of seven young actors studying Shakespeare at an elite arts college, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingenue, extra. But when the casting changes, and the secondary characters usurp the stars, the plays spill dangerously over into life, and one of them is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.
Coming up in the following months we'll read:
All's Well, Mona Awad
Hag-Seed, Margaret Atwood
