BWW Review: Off-Putting Narrative in a Pretty Box with Book-It's A TALE FOR THE TIME BEING
Dear Readers, Can you imagine reading your diary from when you were 16-years-old out loud, in front of an audience?

This was Book-It's noble challenge in its latest production of 'A Tale for the Time Being' as 16-year-old Nao recites the words of her found diary.
