Comedy Play Club: Baskerville | Wednesday, August 11

The joy of reading comic plays begins now!

Please join me on Wednesday, August 11 at 4:45pm ET for our online discussion of Baskerville.

Ryan McBryde, Artistic Director of The Mercury Theatre in the UK director of the Mercury’s production of Baskerville—set to open their brand new building later this month—will join me to discuss this comedy/ mystery. We'll chat about the play, watch a few scenes, and discuss the play's source, The Hound of The Baskervilles.
So read or see Baskerville, read the short story, or just come along and chat.

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.

In May, we launched our new Comedy Play Club with Dear Jack, Dear Louise, a comedy I wrote about my parents’ courtship during World War II, hosted in partnership with Concord Theatricals and Arena Stage.  If you missed it, you can check out the recording here:
