What happens when the spirit of the 1980s as embodied in a much-beloved film about a group of Saturday detention-bound high school students meets the beauty and wit of Shakespearean verse? Attend The Club of Broken Fasts and find out!<\/p>\n
From the playwright Phil S. Gould:
\u201cHigh school drama is pointless, and silly, and also somehow the most important thing in the world. That\u2019s what I take from the John Hughes high school oeuvre, and that\u2019s what I wanted to put across in The Club of Broken Fasts; when you\u2019re going through it, your first love and your dumbest embarrassment and your game-winning catch and your B that should have been an A are as important as anything any king did hundreds of years ago, and as worthy of elevation through verse.\u201d<\/p>\n
