Pub Reads on Broadway World…

So says Liam of his newly opened pub:
Liam Flynn’s Ale House is a new public ale house in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District of Baltimore City. Informally known as the Pub or Liam’s, The Ale House has 15 taps. 2 being for locally brewed, cask-conditioned “Real Ale”. We specialize in British Isles Ales, Whiskeys & Ciders. We have a growing range of Scottish beers and English Ciders Are home to the Glasgow Celtic F.C. & London Fulham F.C. Supporter’s Club although we welcome every fan of Soccer, Rugby and Gaelic sports.
Well, you can add to this litany, supporter of local arts and culture. On two coming Sundays (Jan 22 and Jan 29), Liam’s will play host to FREE public readings of two of the plays in Martin McDonagh’s acclaimed Leenane Trilogy. Starting at 8 those nights, you can drink along with the daft denizens of Connemara as company members from Baltimore’s Everyman and Single Carrot theaters join CENTERSTAGE folks for first Beauty Queen of Leenane then The Lonesome West. And the middle play of the trio? Well that’s A Skull in Connemara and you can catch that Jan 26 - March 4 over at CENTERSTAGE. So fill up on McDonagh while you have the chance, and get to know the newest destination spot on North Ave—then make sure you stop by the current digs of both Everyman and Single Carrot, both close at hand.

Something akin to the drinking vessel Parma’s leading playboy, Soranzo, might use to ply his guests with liquor at his party’s in ‘Tis Pity. Though in the original he asks for a “weighty bowl” to drink from, there’s a sense that we probably don’t want to see him sipping from a cafe-au-lait bowl or anything, so we’ve begun to explore alternative. This image was one provided. There are more at this handy link. Maybe for our next cocktail reception…
