The joy of reading plays begins now!
Plays are like short stories--you can read them in an hour or two before bedtime and engage in a whole work of literature in a single gulp. In this series, we’ll explore not only my own plays, but many of the masterpieces that make up the great comic tradition in English Literature.
Our next Comedy Play Club, Murder on the Orient Express will take place this fall. Details to be announced soon!
New play club recordings now available!
