Masterpiece Theatre Book and Film Club



Why Create a Masterpiece
Book & Film Club?

You love to read. You love to watch movies. Now bring both of those things together in a Masterpiece Book & Film Club! Masterpiece has been adapting your favorite books into films for the last thirty years, so why not get together with friends and talk about the books, movies, costumes, characters, and more! A Masterpiece Book & Film Club combines the appeal of a book club with the opportunity to be a film critic. It gathers people together to discuss works of literature and the ways filmmakers have interpreted them. A Masterpiece Book & Film Club is also a great way to get to know people in a new town or to meet like-minded people. Best of all, it's fun!

Attention Jane Austen Fans:
Here's a Club Just for You!

Starting in January 2008, Masterpiece will be airing films of all six Jane Austen novels. Check back here for everything you'll need to organize an Austen book club or session. We'll provide background information, discussion questions, recipes, and more.
