OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Bernard Farrell 

  • Setting

    The play is set in Ann and Larry's house in suburban Dublin. It is autumn.

  • Synopsis

    This month’s Book Club hostess Ann is struggling to stay calm, desperate to deliver the perfect evening of literary classics and late-night canapés. But when the all-female group invite their husbands to join the club, and a mysterious figure pays a visit from an upstairs room, everyone is forced to contend with a lot more than just Virginia Woolf. Opinions are challenged, suspicions aroused and tempers flare as their daily lives unravel into a saga to rival even the most outrageous fiction.
