Every Book in the World is a captivating tale by Nick Warburton that explores the life of the Victorian bibliomaniac Sir Thomas Phillipps, who aimed to own a copy of every book in the world. This obsession came at a significant cost, leading to a fascinating narrative that resembles a Victorian "road movie".
The play features a talented cast, including Benjamin Whitrow as Sir Thomas Phillipps, Lia Williams as Elizabeth Phillipps, and Peter Gunn as Herbert. Directed and produced by Mark Smalley, this production offers a unique insight into obsession and the lengths one might go to in pursuit of their passions.
