London Drama Book Club
On Sunday 1st November 5-6pm on Zoom, we will share and discuss Buckled by Helen Jeffery, led by the award-winning playwright herself, in a safe and supportive space.
Buckled explores the question: ‘How do you navigate sobriety in a world which revolves around drink?'

London Drama Book Clubs are free events.
