The 24th instalment of Reading Theatre with Science takes place on 27 March, at 6:00 pm, in the beautiful Galeria Santa Clara.

This meeting is special because we’ve decided to coincide it with World Theatre Day, so we’re making an exception to the Wednesday rule and this time the reading will take place on a Thursday.

But back to Reading Theatre with Science…… The text to be read is “Gravity“, de Arzhang Luke Pezhman, translated as part of the Projeto de Tradução Colaborativa, a team for which we are always recruiting more people. As always, the original text, as well as the aforementioned translation, are available for consultation or loan at the Performing Arts and Science Documentation Centre. Anyone interested in taking part, either by reading or just watching, simply has to sign up via the following email address: ler@marioneteatro.com

SYNOPSIS

David is a good teacher. Struggling to stay afloat in the stressful world of modern secondary education and doing his best to keep his life on track, he immerses himself in his work. Passionate about physics, he’s desperate for his students to share his enthusiasm. There’s just one boy, Kyle – the school loner, who takes an interest in science and shares David’s thirst for knowledge. But when Kyle becomes the victim of his troublemaking classmates, Reece and Chantay, all of David’s good work starts to unravel. Their disruptive behaviour is a catalyst for colliding personalities, resulting in an explosive reaction.
