Theatre Book Club: The Boy at the Back of the Class
Do you love reading and going to the theatre? Then head on over to the Festival Theatre website to book your tickets to the book group here.
Do you want to dig in deep to the original story before seeing its adaptation? This collaborative book club from Blackwell’s and Capital Theatres is just the thing to take you from page to stage and ignite some fascinating conversations.
In our Spring season we’ll get reading Onjali Q. Raúf’s moving and timely debut novel The Boy at the Back of the Class.
Told with humor and heart, The Boy at the Back of the Class offers a child’s perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship and kindness in a world that doesn’t always make sense.
YOU WILL NEED TO BOOK YOUR TICKET ON THE FESTIVAL THEATRE WEBSITE, this is an information page. Book here.
