Special Offer for Readers Group members: Ruby Wax
Sane New World
Tuesday

This theatre show is based on
her critically acclaimed book Sane New World which helps us understand why we
sabotage our sanity with our own thinking. This performance shows us how to
rewire our thinking to find calm in a frenetic world and how to become the
master, not the slave, of our own minds.
Members of Kirklees Reader’s Groups can purchase tickets for Ruby Wax
for £15, saving you up to £3. To book call the box office on 01484 430528 and

Tickets are now on sale for Jodi Picoult at Dewsbury Town

‘Leaving Time’ which will be published in the UK on 4th November.
There will be an opportunity to buy copies of this book from Waterstones on the

points out that ‘Jodi’s writing is not only emotional and relevant, but also
moral and moving.’
