The 31st instalment of Reading Theatre with Science takes place on 20 May, at 6:00 pm, at the Science Museum of the University of Coimbra (Vandelli Room).

The text we will be reading is ‘Love, Lies and Taxidermy‘ (Alan Harris), a story based on the classic ‘boy meets girl’ premise. The son of a Polish taxidermist meets the daughter of an ice-cream vendor at a medical research centre in Merthyr Tydfil (Wales). But it’s not all plain sailing… Their parents, with their strange hobbies, are going through a rough patch, and there’s even the threat of a prison sentence hanging over them. And there’s still room for Mr Tutti Frutti and a stuffed owl…

Anyone interested in participating in this meeting, either reading or just watching, need only register by sending an email to: ler@marioneteatro.com

As always, the text has been translated into Portuguese as part of the Collaborative Translation Project, and the original version is available for consultation or loan at the Centre for Documentation in Performing Arts and Science.
