At French Library
Come join us for the Theater Club at the French Library, a place to read, watch, discuss and recite contemporary and classic French plays with fellow enthusiasts! At the Theater Club, we'll discuss a different play each month and read excerpts aloud to each other.
This club strives to foster discussion and dialogue around a love of contemporary theater and a chosen play: attendees are wholeheartedly encouraged to come and practice speaking in French. No acting skill required, and no public performances are planned!
Our November meeting features the 2024 play Passeport by Alexis Michalik.
Issa, a young Eritrean, is left for dead at the Calais camp, the “jungle”.
Miraculously surviving his injuries and trauma, but having completely lost his memory, he can only trust his passport, the only vestige of his past. Helped by two companions in misfortune, Arun and Ali, he will have to face the administrative machine and open one by one the doors that will lead him to a residence permit.
Club participants are asked to read the play beforehand and bring their copy to the meeting for discussion and recitation. You can purchase and instantly download an electronic copy for $10.99 from Amazon (Kindle), Cultura EPUB, or Kobo eBook. You can purchase physical copies from Amazon, Lireka, Cultura, or Abe Books. Please order your copy of the play in advance of our meeting, as delivery can take anywhere from 7-22 days.
Please, keep in mind that a new link is created for each event and a new registration is needed.
