Genteel housewife and mother Deborah has an addiction. 'I'm a bookaholic,' she confesses. 'I just can't help myself.'
The spice of Deborah's real life is her book club. For the women who take part, it's a meeting of minds - and their very different lifestyles. For Deborah, the club is a chance to gather the juicy gossip of her friends' lives and relationships. But when a famous author joins the group for a study session, Deborah's own life suddenly switches from an old wives' tale to the stuff of erotic fiction. The ensuing affair takes her love of linguistics to a whole new level.
Australia's leading stage actress, Amanda Muggleton (Educating Rita, Shirley Valentine, Prisoner), returns to this brilliantly scripted role to give us a whimsical peek behind the closed doors of suburbia.
Lab Theater is at 720 Northern Boulevard, Brookville, NY.
