The Hunger Games

The Book Club meets monthly over drinks, and everybody is welcome to attend, whether they've had the chance to read the book or not. This month, we'll be meeting in the ADC Theatre bar, so that people working on The Cherry Orchard can join us after the show.

This month's read has been suggested by Sarah Preston.

"In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch."
