Do you love reading and going to the theatre?

Do you want to dig in deep to the original story before seeing its adaptation? This collaborative book club from Blackwell’s and Capital Theatres is just the thing to take you from page to stage and ignite some fascinating conversations.

Our first event of the season looks at Patricia Highsmith’s iconic psychological thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Tom Ripley is a nobody – scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies – until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom leaps at the opportunity. What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies, identity theft, and murder.
