The Octagon Theatre is about to presents the heartwarming comedy, The Illiterate Book Club by local author, Geoff Bartlett.

It's about a group of friends who love books but who never have the time to read, so they start a book club anyway and come up with creative ways to soak up their favourite stories.
And apart from "book reviews", there's food, drink and updates on everything else that's keeping them from sitting down with a good book.

Running June 2 to 17 at the Octagon Theatre in Regent, tickets are available online.
