Welcome to the North American premiere of Pan Pan’s book club, where the first and only book you’ll be reading all year is author Miranda July’s novel The First Bad Man. If you haven’t read it, don’t worry: the real story is the club itself. More than just a staging of scenes from the book or a literary dissection, The First Bad Man is an immersive, comedic, and occasionally combative exploration of the intersections between the play’s characters and its inspirations. July’s writing addresses the delicate balance between the satisfaction of engagement and the risk of harm when we dare
