Middle Child Book Club
Supported by Nick Hern Books
Through our Theatre Library we often hear people say they want to read more plays but don’t know where to start. Well, fear not, the Middle Child Book Club is here for all of your play-reading needs.
Each month we’ll suggest a brilliant play to read, which you can borrow a copy of from our library. Then we all get together to talk about what we liked, or didn’t like, about the play, remembering there are no wrong answers and it’s not a test.
Alternatively, you can join us on the morning of the discussion for an optional ‘read aloud’, where attendees take a part and read it aloud, alongside a breakfast of pastries, porridge and fruit.
