About the event
A penniless and out-of-work actor picks up a job working for Dr Blend, a university professor who is conducting a psychological experiment. How will Dr Blend's students react to someone zipped into on oversized bag, sitting at the back of the lecture hall over a series of autumn term lectures? The role, eagerly accepted, soon has unexpected consequences. A professor of post-humanism develops research questions of her own, in particular can you love someone secreted away inside a black bag? Meanwhile, the actor's childhood friend and flatmate forms a vision for monetising this new situation .
2nd Wednesday of the month, every month!
The December Book Club is an extended book club. The book of the month will be discussed, and then the Book of The Year vote will be run (books from December 2025 to November 2026 are eligible), and it will also be a Christmas dinner - if you are booking, please also let Sarah know in the WhatsApp group so that she can confirm numbers for dinner!
Arrive from 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
