The Book Club Play

A workshop production of Karen Zacarías’s The Book Club Play was the surprise hit of the O’Neill National Playwrights Conference last summer. This sparkling new comedy is about people who read books, people who say they read books, and people who prefer books to other people. The play examines the popular phenomena of book clubs: the intricate rules, the intricate friendships, and the intricate need for food. Hilarious and heartbreaking, it reveals the impact of literature on our lives and friendships.
