AUDITION 30th October 2024 at 7:00 for 7:30 pm
Killing Katie: Confessions of a Book Club
by Tracey Tinder
Directed by Kelli Ward
Katie is dead. Physically at least. However, over a decade later, she is still very much alive in the minds of the four women who witnessed her shocking death at book club. None of them have met again or dared whisper her name. Until now.
What’s changed? Robyn, former Queen Bee of the book club and long-time frustrated author has written her first novel: Killing Katie – Confessions of a Book Club.
Killing Katie – Confessions of a Book Club (the play) explores the intricacies, depths and power plays of female friendship groups.
How does the arrival of a new member upset the balance? How do the others respond? How did Katie die? And who should feel guilty?
A shocking, funny and brutally honest play, Killing Katie will resonate with any man who struggles to understand the female psyche and any woman who doesn’t want to end up dead on a coffee table.
Killing Katie: Confessions of a Book Club is a contemporary Australian dark comedy.
