ACT THEATRE BOOKCLUB

Have you made a New Year’s resolution to read more plays in 2023? Challenge yourself to join us in reading a new play every month this year!

In January we’re reading Slave Play by @jeremyoharris “one of the most promising playwrights of his generation” (Vogue) and the “theatre world’s vital new voice”.

The Old South lives on at the MacGregor Plantation – in the breeze, in the cotton fields… and in the crack of the whip. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems.

Jeremy O. Harris's Slave Play rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender and sexuality in twenty-first-century America. It opened at New York Theatre Workshop in November 2018, and transferred to Broadway the following year.

Read with us and watch out for more about the play throughout January…

And join us in the Finlay Bar on 26 January for our first in-person meeting of the ACT Theatre Book Club.
