A travelling theatre troupe keeps Shakespeare alive after a pandemic ends the old world.

Talk about it

  1. What do the travelling players keep alive, and why does it matter to them?
  2. Which of the characters' lives before the collapse stayed with you?
  3. What from your own life would you most want to survive the end of the world?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
