George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels, 1984 and Animal Farm, foretold a chilling, authoritarian future.

Casual Readers Club is a storytelling platform and an irl reading community because reading is a communal practice. We celebrate storytelling in all its forms: from hosting regular book club discussions to theatre trips and from exclusive film previews to salon discussions. Our mission is to provide rich art and cultural experiences for the community - celebrating Black, Brown and traditionally underrepresented voices especially.DocumentaryPT1H59M15
