The Elliott Bay Book Company

Elliott Bay's Drama Book Group, Stages, meets once a month to read, enjoy and discuss great plays and dramatic works, contemporary and classic, from the U.S. and around the world. With summer in the air, this month we turn to lighter fare...but with just as many discussion topics to make for a lively discussion. Our June selection is the marvelous new play Speech & Debate by Stephen Karam. Three teenage misfits in Salem, Oregon discover thay are linked by a local sex scandal that has rocked their town. When one of them sets out to expose the truth, secrets become currency, the stakes get higher, and the trio's connection grows deeper in this searching, fiercely entertaining dark comedy with music. Whether you read the play or have seen the recent wonderful production of Speech & Debate at the Seattle Repertory Theatre, please join us for this discussion.
