- **Event Description**: What happens when a quiet book club opens more than just a book? Where does fantasy end and reality begin? And what secret desires have been waiting to escape the page?

The Darling Theatre Company presents the premiere of Joshua Sasse’s bold, riotously funny new comedy. What begins as a seemingly innocent classical book club soon becomes devoted to an outrageously steamy fairy fantasy - quickly turning into something far more unexpected. As fantasy and reality blur, a tight-knit group of women (and man), discover that the real plot twists belong to the people reading the story.

Friday 21 August – 7.30 pm

Beneath the laughter and glitter, the story gently reveals the quiet isolation we each carry; the private worlds, the unspoken struggles, and the secret longings that sit just beneath the surface of ordinary life. As the women (and man) gather to escape into fiction, their relationships deepen in shocking and surprising ways; reminding us that connection often begins where pretence ends.

With razor-sharp dialogue, unapologetic humour, and just the right amount of mischief; this sparkling new production delivers big laughs with genuine heart and a knowing wink at modern relationships, marriage, friendship, and the stories we tell to survive them!

Irreverent, fast-paced, and wickedly self-aware, this is not just a “girls’ night out” it’s a smart, gutsy comedy for anyone who’s ever loved, lost, or ever felt alone in a crowded room.

Cheeky, clever, and just a little bit naughty — this is theatre with bite!
