The Book Club

New in town, Carol starts a book club in order to get to know her neighbors. An odd assortment of friendly people arrives at her home, and everything seems to be going well until Loman shows up. Her other guests react strangely, leaving Carol having to deal with Loman’s magical shenanigans by herself. A rollercoaster ride of weirdness ensues, until Carol has had enough and decides to take control of the situation in a most unexpected way. This quirky comedy references several popular fantasy stories, from Alice In Wonderland and Mary Poppins to The Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter.
