Ever wondered what would happen if you let a teacher teach they way that THEY wanted to? Imagine if you also let them drink…
Enter: Billie Duncan.
Billie, finally making use of her literature degree—tackles three literary giants: 1984, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Crucible. With a Pinot in hand and sharp humour on tap, Billie hilariously unpacks Orwell's dystopia, Wilde’s tale of vanity gone wild, and Miller’s witch hunts, all while embracing the chaos that comes with a little liquid courage.
Whether you're a book lover or just love a good laugh, this tipsy tour through classic literature promises a night of intellectual fun, booze-fuelled banter, and plenty of unexpected, but very quotable, insights.
The book covered each show rotates, the schedule is: Mar 6 - Crucible Mar 7 - Dorian Gray Mar 8 - 1984 Mar 13 - 1984 Mar 14 - Crucible Mar 15 - Dorian Gray Mar 20 - 1984 Mar 21 - Dorian Gray Mar 22 - Crucible Mar 23 (accessible show) - 1984
