Dorset Theatre Festival presents: The Book Club Play
Jul 11 2025 - Jul 26 2025

THE BOOK CLUB PLAY: AN AWARD-WINNING COMEDY
JULY 11 – JULY 26
By KAREN ZACARÍAS
Directed by JACKSON GAY
A comedy about books and the people who love them. When the members of a devoted book club become the subjects of a documentary film, their intimate discussions of life and literature take on new meaning with the camera rolling. Add in the unexpected arrival of a provocative new member and the sudden inclusion of some questionable titles, and long-standing group dynamics take a hilarious turn. A sold-out hit at theatres across the country, this delightful and engaging play is sprinkled with wit, joy and novels galore.
“A delightful, fresh comedy.”
