We have exciting news! This month Cold Reads/Cold Brews will be at a new, permanent 🤞 location: The Watershed Pub (10104 3rd Ave NE)! We'll be reading a tale about a man who changes his ways after a visit from an apparition. No, it's not time for Scrooge (yet). It's Clérambard!Join us on the mezzanine level on Wednesday 11/11 at 7pm for "Clérambard" by Marcel Ayme, translated by Norman Denny. In this absurd, French comedy, a man goes from being a terrible overlord to an overly pious madman, who tries to change the world for the better in some of the worst ways.
Come for a laugh! And grab a bite or a brew!
Read and/or watch. Roles will be filled by those in attendance.
The Watershed Pub (10104 3rd Ave NE) is right across the street from Northgate Station, accessible via light rail, bus, and nearby parking lots!
Marcel Ayme (1902 - 1967) -- A prolific writer of many genres, Ayme wrote 16 plays. He also translated plays by Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller into French. His writing was the source of some controversy throughout his career due to his political views and crude descriptions of France within his works.
Norman Denny (1901 - 1982) -- An English writer and translator, Denny's career was lauded for his translation of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. At times in his life, he lived in Mexico, and studied in Paris and Vienna, finally residing in England.
What is Cold Reads/Cold Brews?
It's a monthly gathering of people interested in reading plays while quaffing a beverage of choice at a local public house. It is also a way that Latitude Theatre brings our programming out into the public of Seattle. And it's FREE!
We'll gather, read plays, talk about plays, sip a beer (or other tasty drink), have some laughs, have some snacks, and in the end, we have fun together, while experiencing life through the words of playwrights from all over the world.
Note about Accessibility: the mezzanine at Watershed is up one flight of stairs. Please contact us in advance if you plan to attend and would require ADA accomodation, so we can work with the venue to plan for an accessible alternative.
