The Book of Will by Lauren Gunderson

Without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll just have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, The Book of Will finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.

God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza
A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter.

A beautifully written memory piece. After the loss of her husband, Elizabeth returns to her childhood home town, and finds herself reliving the past. Touching, funny, and at times, heartbreaking memories wash over her, coming to life on the stage as we join in her reverie. The Last Real Summer is a story about love, war, and growing up.
