There will be ‘Love, Lies and Taxidermy’ at the 31st RTwS session.

The 31st session of ‘Reading Theatre with Science’ (RTwS) will take place on 20 May at 6 pm at the University of Coimbra Science Museum (Vandelli Room).

 

The text we will be reading is ‘Love, Lies and Taxidermy‘ by Alan Harris, a story with the classic “boy meets girl” premise. The son of a Polish taxidermist meets the daughter of an ice-cream seller 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 is even the threat of a prison sentence hanging over them. And there’s still room for Mr Tutti Frutti and a stuffed owl…
