About New Stagers
Book Club is a comedy play by New Stagers that follows Linda and her fellow book clubbers as they attempt to dissect the classics. The show explores the idiosyncrasies of a mismatched group brought together — through Linda's heavy persuasion — by their love, or mild interest, in books. As they journey through the novels, free-flowing wine and endless crisps, one question remains: can this motley group of strangers actually become friends? And what exactly is a cheese puff?
Why see this show?
A warm, funny ensemble comedy about the unlikely bonds that form when strangers are thrown together around books and wine — familiar and affectionate, with real heart.
