The play The Book Club was
performed in Auckland nearly twenty years ago, and since then it has had many
productions here and in Australia.
When Janice Finn wanted to
direct it for Tadpole Theatre Productions at The Pumphouse Theatre, she and
Roger Hall agreed that it was time that it was updated.
It would still be Deborah’s
story about her joining a book club and the books they all discussed (plus her
insistence on bringing a NZ writer to one of the meetings), but does anyone
read Wild Swans these day?
Most of the other book
choices were also out of date. So, new books have been chosen…and with those
choices new responses from each of the members.
In his talk at Takapuna
Library at noon on Wednesday May 2nd, Roger Hall will discuss the
new selection of books, why they were chosen, and why some didn’t make the cut.
In addition which couple of favourite authors can almost define a character?
These, too, got changed.
In
addition he will talk about the play’s production history in Australia, how
Loretta Swit (Hot Lips Hoolihan) almost came to play the part in the UK even
though she was American; and his being flown to New York for a read-through for
a possible Broadway production.and how it turned out to be a
disaster
