What happens when the spirit of the 1980s as embodied in a much-beloved film about a group of Saturday detention-bound high school students meets the beauty and wit of Shakespearean verse? Attend The Club of Broken Fasts and find out!

From the playwright Phil S. Gould:
“High school drama is pointless, and silly, and also somehow the most important thing in the world. That’s what I take from the John Hughes high school oeuvre, and that’s what I wanted to put across in The Club of Broken Fasts; when you’re going through it, your first love and your dumbest embarrassment and your game-winning catch and your B that should have been an A are as important as anything any king did hundreds of years ago, and as worthy of elevation through verse.”
