Embark on a literary journey like nothing before in Anakana Schofield’s Library of Brothel. In a class with Beckett, Joyce, and O’Brien (The Guardian), Schofield’s absurdist creation is a cri de coeur for human connection and the right to meaningful work, told with irresistibly inventive style and uproarious humour. In a building perched in a city where jobs are scarce, no one can find a date, and many struggle just to be housed, a unique and precarious economy flourishes. Cross the threshold and enter a world of intellectual stimulation and effervescent experiments with language. Moderated by Mark Medley.
